Another beautiful, cross country style race that benefits a great cause
Tails & Trails
5K Trail Run
Spring 2013
Benefiting Main Line Animal Rescue
Pickering Meade Farm, Chester Springs, PA
We had so much fun putting on this event in November 2011! Thank you to all of you who attended! Look for this race to return in the Spring 2013! NOTE - there was a date in April that the race was schedule for, but due to a conflict the date remains TBA!
There will be lots of fun changes to the race - there will still be the same fun cross-country style 5K run, but there will also be a 3K walk and a shorter children's fun run!
Look for even more adorable adoptable dogs to be cheering you on both during the race and at the finish line! Since there will be lots of hopeful dogs strutting their stuff and looking for their furever homes that day, MLAR asks that you please leave your own furry friends at home on race day - it's less stressful for everyone both 2-legged and 4-legged!
More information will also be available once the race is planned at: http://mlar.org/events/
2011 Information is below. Stay tuned for the 2013 updates!
