Photos: Paws Cheers On Students During Norup Fun Run

The Detroit Tigers mascot high-fived runners Friday along the course in Oak Park during the international school's annual fundraiser.

Detroit Tigers mascot Paws, appropriately dressed in his furry costume on a chilly morning Friday, cheered on students during the annual Norup International School fun run in Oak Park.

Despite the shiver-inducing weather, the young runners had a blast and tunes provided by deejay Gordy Oliva of Huntington Woods kept parents' booties shaking as they encouraged their little runners and snapped photos along the route.
