Fundraising Races<\/h2>\n

Fall is a great time for running\u2014 with the end of summer temperatures, you can exercise outside without sweating out all of the water in your body, but it\u2019s too early for the ice and snow of a brutal Chicago winter. For those who like running outside and also want to make a difference, fundraising races (many of which are happening virtually this year) can be a great outlet. Among the local organizations hosting virtual races are Red Door Animal Shelter, Strides for Peace, and Head for the Cure.<\/p>\n
