Hosted by VCA Animal Hospitals, PAWS Chicago 5K Walk-Run holds the honor of being the biggest charity walk in the city that's open to both dogs and people. The main event is a 5k walk/run that takes place at the Montrose Harbor, but there are also live entertainment performances, giveaways, food and beverage tents, and activities like yoga and children's games. Everyone who registers and participates will receive a t-shirt; additional prizes and rewards are offered for people who raise $100 or more. The walk and run portions of the event take place separately, and dogs are not permitted on the run portion.
