Faster for Foster Trail Race 5k and 10k is a great event to raise funds for foster care in middle Tennessee. The race is sponsored by New to You and if you have an opportunity to support them or participate in an event, you should.
The race is held at Preservation Park in Thompson’s Station which is not too far from my house. This allowed for time to train on the 5k course. I started out with one loop and built up to 4 loops with a turn time of 30 minutes or less each.
The original race last year was just a 5k, so the 10k addition was two loops.
Some pictures from race day.
Yes, crazy! First place overall and as of 2025, current course record holder.
