The Race
5k, 10k, & Half Marathon
Urban Region: Fort Worth
Dogs make everything better, but so does beer. That is why we brought together the two things that make everything better and put them on the trails. Come run the trails with your four legged best friend and throw back an ice cold beer after. Pups run for FREE!

The Race
The Course
No need to leave Fido home on this morning's run; bring him along as your running companion. This puppy-palooza will run the beautiful and expansive Trinity Trails System in Fort Worth. The flat and fast course traverses bridges overlooking the river, parks with groves of oak trees, and double track trail on non-technical terrain consisting of both pavement and dirt for you both to enjoy.
Don't have a pup to run with and want one for the morning? Local rescue shelters will be on site to let you run with their dogs. If you and Mr. Wiggles can't part ways, you may even choose to adopt your new best friend. It's not necessary to run with a dog if you'd prefer to not be outdone by your furry friend. We understand. Solo runners are welcome too.
Afterwards, mingle with your mongrels, listen to music, and drink beer served ice cold, all while hanging out with friends on an outdoor patio located directly on the trail.
If you are looking for the perfect occasion to spend the day with Rover on the trails then this is one you don't want to miss.
Note: Each registrant receives one free beer with a valid bib. Please come prepared to clean up after your own pup. All pet owners and registrants running with a pup are responsible for their animals well being and behavior. Please make sure everyone plays nice for everyones' enjoyment and safety.
