Welcome to the Tails in the Wind Mile!

Paws hitting the pavement for a good cause.

Join us on Saturday, May 2, 2026, for Calgary's only dog mile! Whether you are chasing a 1-mile PR or just looking for a fun morning stroll with your furry best friend, this net-downhill, wind-at-your-back course is designed to be the fastest fun on four legs.

The Divisions

We want everyone to enjoy the park safely, so we are offering separate divisions:

• The Dog Divisions: Run or walk the mile with your furry friend!

• The Human-Only Divisions: No dog? No problem! Chase your fastest mile unhindered.

(Note: We will utilize staggered wave starts beginning at 9:30 AM to ensure plenty of space on the path for everyone).

The Race

The course will start near Snowy Owl Picnic Area and end near Bluebird Picnic Area (point to point, downhill!).

• Course Accuracy: This 1-mile route has been accurately wheel-measured to ensure exact distance.

• Course Etiquette: Please stay on the right side of the pedestrian path, except to pass

• Shared Course: We do not have exclusive usage of the path. We will be sharing with the public and other races occurring simultaneously.

We will do our best to ensure the smoothest experience for our racers!

The Post-Race Pawty

The fun doesn't stop at the finish line! Stick around the Bluebird Picnic Area for post-race festivities, including:

• Finish line photos and a bubble machine!

• Post-race human snacks (fruit, granola bars)

• The ultimate Doggy Buffet (treats, peanut butter, and plenty of water)

Running for AARCS

This event is proudly partnered with the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS). A portion of every registration goes directly to helping animals in need. We highly encourage you to set up a fundraising page during registration and ask your friends and family to pledge your run! Our goal is to raise a minimum of 1000$!
