Walk4Animals & 5K Run

Anderson Humane's Walk4Animals & 5K Run takes place in Batavia, Illinois, centered at the Peg Bond Center at 100 N Island Ave along the Batavia Riverwalk. The event offers a 5K Run (timed), a 1.5-mile Walk, and a T-Shirt Only option. The Walk4Animals route is a 1.65-mile loop around the Batavia Riverwalk, while the 5K starts and finishes there.
