Tails & Trails 5K

The Tails & Trails 5K is an annual running event held in Clarkston, Michigan, at Independence Oaks. Open to all ages, the event features a 5K race along scenic trails and a Cat Walk 1K, welcoming both dogs and cats on leashes. The race promotes a family-friendly atmosphere with a fun zone and local animal-related vendors such as markets and groomers.

Participants can walk or run alongside their pets, provided they have current licenses and are leashed. The event supports animal rescues, raising funds and collecting donations for Do Only Good Animal Rescue and Great Lakes Dog Rescue, both dedicated to sheltering and rehoming animals.
