Event Description

Join us for the Paws for a Cause 5K on October 18th!

This community 5K is being organized through a collaboration between Hill’s, Purina, OTS, Nutrition Club, Run Club, and the University of Illinois veterinary community. The goal is to bring students, faculty, staff, and members of the Champaign-Urbana community together for a fun morning of running, walking, and giving back.

Fifty percent of the proceeds from the event will be donated to a selected charity or good cause, with the remaining funds supporting the clubs involved in organizing the race.

Whether you are an experienced runner, a casual walker, or simply looking for a fun way to get active and support the community, everyone is welcome.

The event will include a 5K run/walk, age-group awards and medals, prizes for top finishers, and post-race snacks and refreshments.

Come out for a fun morning of fitness, community, and giving back while supporting a great cause.

October 18th | Champaign-Urbana, IL

More details about registration, the course, and the selected charity will be announced soon. We hope to see you there!
