AN EVENT FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND THEIR DOGS

- RHYLEA MILLAR

EVERY man, woman and their dog will have an opportunit­y to unleash at the inaugural Tails and Trails event.

Queensland’s Sled Dog Racing Club vice-president Daniel Rose and his dog Knowa hope other runners and their canine buddies will join in on the outdoor fun.

“With Covid-19, we’ve seen a rise in obesity rates in dogs, as well as separation and behavioura­l issues, due to a lack of socialisat­ion and mental stimulatio­n,” Mr Rose said.

“Rather than competitio­n, Tails and Trails has a fun run type spin on it and is a way for dog owners to keep active with their family pets, while also raising awareness about our club and sport.”

Participan­ts are welcome to walk, jog or run with a 5km or 10km option available.

The event will kick off at 7am on September 25, at Pechey State Forest.

Online registrati­ons are also available for people participat­ing interstate.

Entry starts from $35.

The first 50 people to register and complete the race will receive a participat­ion medal. To register visit https://bit.ly/38ooNaQ.
