The Dog Days of Summer is a Timed Race held in August in the SW suburbs of the Chicagoland area with three (3) different time options. In our inaugural year, we have a 4 hour, 6 hour and 12 hour timed race run on a 1.6 mile loop that you repeat as many times as you can in the time allowed. The race has been organized to benefit the Rover Rescue foundation. As the name implies, there will be dogs of all kinds at the race for you to see, pet and love and even possibly adopt.

Another fun filled event is in the planning stages. Elimination 5K.
Here is how it works: 15 participants line up on a track to run a 5K race. At the end of each loop, the person in last place is eliminated. This is repeated for the first 12 loops, leaving just 3 runners left to run the last 0.35 mile. In order for this to be a success, we need at least 45 participants (we are looking for 3 groups of 15).
Please keep this in mind. This is all for fun. Yes, it is a “competition” but we are competing among friends and at the end of the day, it will all be about the fun and enjoyment we get from getting together.
More to keep in mind, Yes, I know that there are other races going on this day. This event is in the afternoon specifically to avoid conflicts with other events. Remember this is just 3 miles TOTAL (if you make it to the end). This should not derail your training for any races you have. Register below. It is a FREE Event.
