Faster For Foster Trail Run

Join us for the fourth annual "Faster For Foster" trail race on April 17, 2027, at Preservation Park in Thompson's Station, Tennessee. This heartwarming event benefits New To You, Inc., a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting foster children with essential items and educational opportunities.
Registration is exclusively online by midnight on Friday, April 16th. Race day packet pick-up will be held from 7:00 AM to 7:45 AM at Preservation Park's pavilion inside the fence near the parking lot. The race features both a 5k and a 10k course, with the latter covering the 5k route twice.
The scenic trail run winds through grassy paths and gravel jeep roads before venturing into more technical terrain filled with roots and rocks. A highlight of the course is an out-and-back segment near Mars Dog Park, where runners can enjoy a water stop under a train track bridge at mile 1.5. The final stretch includes "the big hill," offering stunning views as you push toward the finish line.
Participants will be greeted by vibrant wildflowers and lush woodland scenery throughout their run. Dogs are welcome on leashes to join in the fun, adding an extra layer of camaraderie among runners.
After crossing the finish line at 8:00 AM for both races, awards ceremonies immediately follow, recognizing top male and female finishers as well as first-place dogs in each race category. Age group winners will also be celebrated with smaller yet equally meaningful prizes.
Make sure to visit Fleet Feet Cool Springs on April 16th from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM for packet pickup before heading out early the next morning to Preservation Park, located at 1600 Thompson's Station Road WEST. Don't miss this chance to support foster children while enjoying a challenging and rewarding trail run in Tennessee’s beautiful outdoors.
