Dog Days of Summer Trail Race

The Dog Days of Summer Trail Race is a multi-event ultratrail weekend in Grandview, Tennessee, raising funds for Flying Pigs Animal Sanctuary. Runners choose 1- or 3-mile loops and can go for 1, 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours, tackling brutal, Barkley-style hills in hot, humid conditions. Each loop starts and ends at a single aid-station party zone, with a raw, no-frills trail-running atmosphere described as feral and heart-driven.

Proceeds support animals in rural Tennessee. Weekend highlights include free tent camping and a glamping silent-auction option to benefit Flying Pigs Sanctuary, plus community camaraderie and milestone-based Barkley-style trail names. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
