Lace up your trail shoes and leash up your canine companion for the Howlin' Coyote Canicross Trail Run, set to take place on October 3, 2026, in the picturesque King George, VA. This unique event invites runners and their leashed furry partners to tackle a challenging course amidst the beautiful parkland of Caledon State Park. As a non-profit event, your participation directly supports the Friends of Caledon in their mission to improve natural resources and educational programs at the park.

Runners can choose between the demanding 10K Canicross or the shorter 1M Wild Pup, both promising varying terrain that will keep you and your dog engaged throughout. The race is committed to sustainability, operating as a disposable cup-free event; each participant will receive a SpeedCup to carry or can bring their own hydration container for use at aid stations. Typical race day conditions in early October offer pleasant weather, with highs around 71F and lows around 53F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal environment for trail running.

The Howlin' Coyote Canicross Trail Run is more than just a race; it's an opportunity to experience the scenic trails of Caledon State Park alongside your best four-legged friend, all while contributing to a worthy cause. Join the Friends of Caledon Race series for an unforgettable day of camaraderie, challenge, and canine companionship.
