Run for Their Lives Run Recap and Results

On September 28th, over 4,000 participants and their four-legged friends ran, walked or just took in the fun, making the Eighth Annual PAWS Chicago Run for Their Lives its biggest to date, and raising over $400,000 for homeless animals.

A colorful array of pets and their people strolled along Chicago’s beautiful lakefront in a 4K walk, while humans only took their mark for an 8K race beginning at Montrose Harbor.

Highlights of the event included Lisa Dent of US99.5 as the event MC, a dog agility course created by K9 University, an animal communicator, pet and owner massages, “doggie yoga” hosted by Lakeshore Athletic Club, and breed testing conducted by Canine Heritage.
