Organiser's description

Cal Dobbs, along with local Chicago queer organizations, is hosting a FOURTH race in our Trot for Trans Lives series! This event is a fun, family friendly 5k run to show love and support for all trans and intersex people impacted by the record-breaking number of anti trans legislation introduced in 2023. Join Cal and activists from the community on 6/14/23 in Chicago, Illinois or virtually from anywhere in the world for three miles to show up for transgender people across America.

The funds raised from this run will go to the Trans Chicago, Hire Trans Now, Trans Athlete, and the TRANScontinental Run. We will also have shirts available for purchase or just donations to give.

This is a fiercely non-competitive fun walk and run. There will also be AWARDS and PRIZES for both in-person AND virtual events: 1. Best Dressed 2. Most Prideful. 3. Bring It On Award (Best Cheerleader) So make sure to dress your best and post all about it! #TrotforTransLivesChicago
