About this race

Run for a Sole 5K - Give. Run. Make a Difference.

Chicago Pediatric Therapy & Wellness Center and Bata Sole are teaming up to do what we do best—help children!

Together, we are proud to bring you the first annual Run for a Sole 5K, a community race with a mission that goes far beyond the finish line.

This 5K will help raise funds for a mission trip to the Philippines, where our team will provide shoes and support to children and families in disadvantaged communities. We are also collecting new and gently used shoes to help provide children around the world with something many of us take for granted: a safe, comfortable pair of shoes to call their own.

Every step you take helps us take another step toward making a difference. Whether you’re a serious runner, a weekend walker, a family looking for a fun day together, or simply someone who believes that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, we invite you to join us.

Run for a reason. Give with purpose. Make an impact—one sole at a time. Lace up, bring your family and friends, and help us put shoes on feet and hope in hearts around the world!
