York County SPCA Tails on The Trail 5K Presented By Ready & Able Plumbing, Heating & Air

Lace up your running shoes – and perhaps your pup's leash – for the inaugural York County SPCA Tails on The Trail 5K Presented By Ready & Able Plumbing, Heating & Air on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in York, PA. This heartwarming 3.1-mile (5K) run/walk is a fantastic opportunity to hit the scenic Northern Extension of Heritage Rail Trail County Park, offering a course designed for all abilities. Participants will start at Keystone Kidspace, venturing out before looping back to the finish, with typical race day conditions in early April featuring highs around 60F and lows around 35F, and a modest 13% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets this event apart is its mission: every step you take directly supports the lifesaving care provided by the York County SPCA, including sheltering, medical treatment, and rehabilitation for vulnerable animals in the community. This family-friendly event welcomes runners, walkers, and their leashed canine companions to enjoy a morning of movement, compassion, and community impact.

Check-in begins bright and early at 8:00 AM at WellSpan Park, with the race kicking off at 9:00 AM. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement and commitment to a great cause with awards and post-race festivities held back at WellSpan Park, starting at 10:15 AM. Join fellow animal lovers for a meaningful day outdoors that makes a tangible difference for pets in need.
