PAWS in the Park 5k
5K run/walk at Millennium Park supporting animal rescue.
PAWS in the Park 5K is a community event that brings together runners, walkers, and families—all welcome to bring their dogs along. You can choose to participate in the full 5K or opt for the 1-mile option, and it's equally fine to walk or roll instead of running. Beyond the race itself, there's live music, food, vendor booths, and a beer garden for adults to enjoy while the kids explore interactive activities throughout the park.
The event supports PAWS' work training service dogs that help strengthen communities and transform lives. If you'd like a guaranteed shirt size, register by June 22nd. Even if racing isn't your family's thing, you're welcome to show up just for the festivities—there's plenty to see and do. A highlight for many is the playful "Lab vs. Golden" retriever race, a beloved tradition that crowns the year's top retriever breed.
