Running with the Dogs 5K - Peoria, Illinois - Running

The Running with the Dogs 5K is a Running race in Peoria, Illinois consisting of a 5K.

Running with the Dogs is an annual fundraiser hosted by Paws Giving Independence. This 5k run/3k walk is our biggest fundraiser. The funds that we raise through this event will help us continue to place service dogs free of charge each year.

Come join us at Junction City, in Peoria, IL. We will start registration and pick up at 8 am. The 5k race will begin at 9 am. Shortly after will be the 3k walk, at about 10 am. Ending around 11 am, we will announce top finishers and conclude the event.

We will have vendors and sponsors present who support us through the year. Donations and funds are put towards the vet bills to ensure the health of our dogs, equipment for adequate handling like vests and harnesses, and any other expenses incurred throughout the training process. PGI places each of our dogs without costs to the recipient families. Your participation and donation to the Running with the Dogs event will help us achieve this ongoing goal.
