(WBBM NEWSRADIO) – There’s plenty to do across the Chicago region this weekend. WBBM Newsradio’s Rachel Pierson has the latest roundup of events.
--Spring-clean your closets and help those in need. Grand Subaru hosts a clothing drive in downtown Bensenville Friday night. The event includes a car show, carnival games and two food trucks. Clothing collected will be donated to local charities and programs in Bensenville.
--Spring it on! The Lifetime Chicago Spring Half Marathon and 10K takes runners along the city’s iconic skyline Sunday morning. Stick around after the race for live music, flower-picking and a Chicago-style brunch.
--All aboard for the Pullman Railroad Days. The two-day South Side event lets you immerse yourself in locomotive history by getting up close and personal with four historic Pullman cars and gives you a chance to explore the new “Railroaders” exhibit.
--Renegade Chicago’s spring market takes over Clark Street between Bryn Mawr and Edgewater Avenue in Andersonville. Shop from more than 250 of the best craft designers, artists and creatives around.

--Bring your four-legged friend to Gallagher Way on Saturday. Dog Day is back by popular demand. Stop by the green space next to Wrigley Field for dog yoga, a pup cup station, kiddie pools and tasty treats. One Tail at a Time will be on-site collecting supplies for dogs and cats in need.
