Join us for a fun trail run at Shelby Farms Park on June 11th, 2023 to benefit St. Jude Research Hospital! Trails for Tots is a one-day event featuring a 5k trail race through the Tour de Wolf Trail at Shelby Farms Park followed by a 1-Mile Fun Run. This inaugural event is family friendly and runners/walkers of all ages and fitness levels are welcome.
The 5K trail race will be chipped-timed and all participants registered by May 25th will be guaranteed an event t-shirt in their selected size. The 1-mile fun run will follow and post-race refreshments will be provided. If you would like to support the race without running, all Spirit Runners will receive an event shirt as well.
Proceeds from Trails for Tots will benefit St. Jude Research Hospital. Donation money helps to ensure that the families of children treated at St. Jude never receive a bill. Please join us for a fun afternoon of trail running, community and giving as we help support St. Jude!
