The Cougars 5K Run/Walk is a unique event for competitive runners and families looking to enjoy a memorable morning at the ballpark! Runners and walkers, families with strollers...all are welcome. There's no better way to end a race than right on the home field of your Cougars. Participants can be seen on the videoboard as they cross the finish line and receive a high-five from Ozzie and Annie during the final turn. A portion of the entry proceeds will be donated to the Special Olympics of Illinois.

Children through the age of 12 can participate once again in the Cougars Inside the Park Dash - a roughly half-mile fun run- for only $5! Ozzie and Annie will be waiting at home plate to hand out high-fives.

Did we mention free and convenient parking? Close proximity to restrooms at the start line? Enjoy great amenities and one of the most unique 5K events held in Chicagoland!
