Tails On Trails Tribute Hikes

These are some of the people who hiked with us at Tails on Trails in the past. And the two cats in the photo are the reason any of this exists in the first place.

I had Nomar for 16 years and Mia for 20. Tails on Trails started as a way to honor them and has grown into a way to help other people get more time with the pets they love.

We're doing it again October 24 at Baker Creek Preserve. A 3-mile hike, live acoustic music, coffee, s'mores, dogs and a bunch of good people coming together to help save pets.

And new this year, if you're not in Knoxville, you can Hike From Anywhere and do your own 3-mile hike wherever you live.

Registration is open. I'll put the link in the comments. 🐾

Registration for Tails on Trails 2026 is officially OPEN! 🐾

We're back at Baker Creek Preserve in Knoxville on Saturday, October 24, and I'm changing things up a little this year.

Think less festival and more fall morning gathering.

A 3-mile hike. Live acoustic music. Coffee. S'mores. Dogs. Memory rocks. Community. And a morning spent helping save pets through the Nomar & Mia Compassion Fund.

And for the first time, you don't have to be in Knoxville to participate. 🌎

Our new "Hike From Anywhere" option lets you register and hike or walk your own 3 miles wherever you live on October 24.

There is no required registration fee for either option. Donations are encouraged and every dollar helps pet families facing emergency veterinary expenses.

🥾 Knoxville or anywhere else—we'd love to have you hiking with us.

🐾 Tails on Trails 2026: Hike to Save Pets
A Fall Morning Gathering
📅 Saturday, October 24, 2026
📍 Baker Creek Preserve – Knoxville, TN

Tails on Trails is a fall morning of hiking, music, coffee, connection, and community—all coming together to help save pets through the Nomar & Mia Compassion Fund.

Whether you're hiking with your dog, honoring a pet who's touched your life, or simply looking for a meaningful way to spend a beautiful October morning, you'll find a welcoming community of people who love animals and the outdoors.

This year we're intentionally creating a different kind of experience. Instead of a large vendor market, we're focusing on what people have told us they love most: the hike, the music, the conversations, the dogs, and the sense of community.

We just locked in October 24, 2026.

Tails on Trails returns to Baker Creek Preserve for another morning of hiking, music, coffee, connection, and community—all to help save pets through the Nomar & Mia Compassion Fund.

More details coming soon. For now, save the date and start counting down with us. 🐾🍂

OK Tails on Trails is back this year!

October 24, 2026.

It’s a day to remember, connect, and walk for the pets who changed our lives.

Once again we'll be raising money for the Nomar and Mia Compassion Fund to help those pet parents who can't afford their ER vet bills.

Save the date. More details to come.
