We are very excited again to partner with the Bank of America Chicago Marathon!

We will make sure our runners' Marathon experience is indeed "special" with EXCLUSIVE benefits to reward their efforts. We greatly value our runners' participation as they help raise funds to suppose the programs enjoyed throughout the year by our 5,000 Chicago athletes! 

Here are the top 10 benefits for members of our team:

10. Free Training Program with Chicago Endurance Sports (CES)! Weekly group runs or virtual training.

9. Fundraising tips and guidance! Despite offering our runners a free entry this year, we are not raising our required minimum fundraising level. We ask all runners to reach a minimum goal of $1,000 by October 5, 2011

8. Free trip to las Vegas Marathon/Half Marathon for our top fundraiser!

7. Tech training shirt!

6. Race day headquarters at the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant located on home stretch of the race! Just a few blocks from Grant Park!

5. Free race day parking for our top 100 fundraisers!

4. Indoor preparation facilities at the Chicago Firehouse on the morning of race day!

3. Free pre-race continental breakfast!

2. Free post-race beverages and massage at the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant!

1. Free race entry! Yes, free race entry for all of our team members.

Registration to join our team is now available! There is no fee to register and we provide all runners with a free entry to the race!
