We invite you to participate and fundraise on behalf of Hyde Park Cats, an official charity partner of the 2026 Life Time Chicago Half Marathon! Every dollar you raise goes directly to supporting cats on the South Side of Chicago.

The race will take you through the beautiful Hyde Park and Kenwood neighborhoods, with views of Jackson Park and the Lakefront. While you run, know that you’re fundraising for a local organization that directly supports the people and places you pass! All funds raised will go directly to vet care, food, and adoption support for Hyde Park Cats kitties.

Come cheer for Team Hyde Park Cats runners at the Life Time half marathon! We'll have a cheer zone with signs for our runners.

Love ice cream? Love cats? Join us for both at Jeni’s! 25% of ALL sales will be donated back to Hyde Park Cats! Get a sweet treat and support Hyde Park Cats programs.
