Welcome to the 23rd Annual PAWS Chicago 5K Walk/Run For Their Lives!
Fall 2023

Saving homeless animals is a team effort. And these pets need YOU on their team! By joining the PAWS Chicago 5K, you're making a huge impact towards saving 1000s of sick, injured, stray, and abandoned animals every year.

This is Chicago's LARGEST dog-friendly charity event and the perfect moment to give more animals a second chance at happiness.

Beyond raising awareness and funds for homeless animals, the PAWS Chicago 5K is a day of costumes, carousing, meeting new friends, dog agility courses, live raffles, entertainment, treats, and tons of surprises.

Don't miss this unforgettable gathering for an unparalleled cause.
