Team Red Cross prepares runners for success in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, while also providing a rewarding charitable-giving experience. Please join in October 8, 2023 to participate in this extraordinary race, which is one of the six World Majors.
Team Red Cross runners are required to raise a minimum of $1,250 if you register prior to the Marathon drawing, and $1,750 if you register after the drawing. Note: this is the mandatory fundraising minimum for ALL charities.
The money you raise as part of this program will support our mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies. You can provide vital resources that will go directly to our lifesaving mission. You can make a difference.
For more information about joining Team Red Cross for the 2023 Chicago Marathon or if you are interested in sponsoring our Marathon team, please contact ChicagoTRC@redcross.org.
All funds raised by Team Red Cross benefit American Red Cross programs and services throughout the Illinois Region. When a child needs a blanket after a disaster, when a blood transfusion is received for a cancer patient, when a member of the armed forces receives support for their family, when a life is saved by CPR, the Red Cross is there because of the generosity of people like YOU.
Paul Madison experienced a family tragedy and received help from the American Red Cross. In 2017, he ran his first marathon to support the Red Cross and military families.
Steve Paluck is giving back to the Red Cross after donated blood from strangers saved his life as a child. In 2019, he ran the Chicago Marathon for the second time.
