Charity Program
Make your half marathon miles even more meaningful by running on behalf of a charity team! The Bank of America Chicago 13.1 Charity Program features eight charity partners that are creating a positive impact on Chicago’s West Side and throughout the city, each with a focus on empowering youth, advancing health equity and supporting community development. The goal of the program is to provide funds to support causes that align with the event’s vision of supporting the communities where we live, work and run. View the event’s charity partners by visiting the Charity index below.
Charity program entries are limited and available on a first-come first-served basis. Each charity manages its own unique charity team, participant benefits and fundraising requirements. While fundraising requirements may vary from charity to charity, participants are required to raise no less than $500 (USD). Charity entries will close on Tuesday, May 23 or when event capacity is reached, whichever comes first.
Only charities that are part of the official Bank of America Chicago 13.1 Charity Program have access to guaranteed entries.
