DOWNERS GROVE, IL — The 7th Annual DuPage Human Race will step off in Downers Grove on April 28 to benefit Giving DuPage's ongoing charitable efforts within the community. The event includes a 5K race and a 2-mile walk on which participants can bring their dogs.

More than 1,700 runners and walkers took part in The DuPage Human Race in 2017. This year, the goal is to get 1,900 runners and walkers on board.

If you don't plan to take part in the race, you can also sponsor a runner or walker or make a donation to benefit a charity of your choice. The organization hopes to raise $135,000 from the 2018 event to aid its more than 70 participating charities.
