Chicago Marathon

Applying for a charity place

Run for charity with realbuzz in the globally renowned Bank of America Chicago Marathon, part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, which traverses one of the world’s most magnificent cities. Please note, as realbuzz is an international partner of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, we will not be able to offer places to US residents and charities in the programme are based outside of the US.

Places are guaranteed based on achievement of the fundraising target for the charity, with full support all the way to race day. To get started, choose your charity and hit ‘enquire’ to apply to join their team. Thank you for choosing to run for charity and make your miles mean more.
