Anderson Humane's Walk4Animals & 5K Run

Anderson Humane's Walk4Animals & 5K Run is a fundraising event in Batavia, Illinois, held at the Peg Bond Center with the course beginning and ending at the Batavia Riverwalk, 100 N. Island Avenue. The event supports Anderson Humane's care for animals; in 2024 the organization reported rescuing more than 4,000 domestic animals and more than 3,000 wild animals.
