Description

**ALL proceeds benefit Reflection Riding**

Get ready for a trail day made for you and your best four-legged friend, hosted by Nooga Paws, Bad Beard Events, Reflection Riding, and presented by Mountain View Auto Group. Tails, Trails & Ales is a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience where adventurous dog lovers come together to run, hike, and celebrate all things canine in one of Chattanooga’s most beautiful natural settings.

Choose from a 1-mile Pup Dash, 5K, or 10K trail run and explore scenic routes side-by-side with your dog. Whether you’re racing for time or strolling for fun, this event is all about movement, connection, and enjoying the outdoors together. Expect dog-friendly aid stations, a 6-ft leash policy, and on-site veterinary and first-aid support for peace of mind.

Cross the finish line and head straight into the celebration—because that’s where the Ales come in. Relax with local craft beer, food, and browse pet-friendly vendors. Every human finisher receives race swag, and every pup gets a bandana—because they earned it, too.

We’re planning for around 200 participants (plus lots of wagging tails!) and have built in optional support for a local animal rescue or shelter.

This event is designed to:
• Promote fun, fitness, and human-dog bonding
• Support local businesses and makers
• Celebrate Chattanooga’s outdoor spirit
• Build a signature community event for years to come
Timed and untimed options are available. One dog per participant. 6-ft leashes required.
Join us for an unforgettable day on the trails—because adventures are better with a dog by your side.

***Event length is 3 hours, 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. It is a cupless event. Dog bowls provided. To participate, you have to have a dog. The pup dash is a 1-mile fun run- you can grab one of our dogs up for adoption or bring your own.
