Race Weekend 2026 is off to a "running start"!

This Christie Clinic Illinois Race Weekend, consider running with "purr-pose"! Join our team to create a fundraising page, so people can support both your race, and a cause you love.

Volunteering on the course also has a big impact on our pets. For every course volunteer position filled by YOU, the race will donate $25 to our cause.

Learn more here, including how to get a registration discount code and how to make sure you're volunteering for pets!
