PAWS Chicago 5K

Local no-kill animal shelter PAWS hosts its annual 5K race at Montrose Harbor, where humans and dogs can make their way through a lakefront course while raising money to support the organization's work. Once you cross the finish line, you'll be able to enjoy live entertainment for humans and pups alike, including a dog agility course and a "doggy oasis" outfitted with pools for cooling off. Don't have a four-legged friend to bring along? Not to worry—there will be plenty of good boys and girls for you to pet.
