Goal
We are sold out of our guaranteed race entries for the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. If you do not have your own race entry in the 2023 event you will not be able to participate on our team in Chicago Marathon this year.
If you are interested in learning more about our involvement in the Abbott World Marathon Majors, we encourage you to sign up on our interest list and we will contact you when we open registration or applications for the event of your choosing.
If you have your own race entry in the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon you may still join our team:
- Register as a Team St. Jude fundraiser and earn access to exclusive St. Jude Heroes gear along the way.
Or
- Commit to one of the fundraising levels below to receive access to race weekend benefits like the St. Jude Heroes pre-race pasta party and race day hospitality. Contact kristine.paca@alsac.stjude.org for more information.
Fundraise for the children and families at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® while you train for your race. The fundraising efforts of runners like you help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - so they can focus on helping their child live.
Earn a St. Jude Heroes singlet or tech shirt when you raise $250.00.
How It Works
- Join the St. Jude team here!
- Please note: registering to run for St. Jude does not automatically register you for the race. You will be required to complete the steps below to be fully registered for the race. - Complete your online fundraising commitment form (due within 72 hours of registering with St. Jude).
- A credit card is required to secure your race entry and fundraising commitment to St. Jude.
- In the unlikely event you do not complete your fundraising commitment by the deadline of October 20, 2023, your credit card will be charged the difference. The commitment form can be found at www.stjudeheroescommit.org. - Register for the race! After we receive your fundraising commitment form, we will provide you with the race registration link to register for the marathon. All team members must have a completed fundraising commitment form to participate in the event.
The more you raise, the cooler the gear! Raise $250 for the kids at St. Jude and you'll get a St. Jude Heroes singlet or tech shirt to wear on race day. Keep fundraising and you'll also receive your choice of exclusive St. Jude gear in recognition of your efforts.
Withdraw Options:
All entries are non-refundable, non-transferrable and cannot be deferred. Your registration as a St. Jude Hero (Gold, Silver, Bronze level) is a commitment to fundraising for the kids at St. Jude. Your fundraising commitment may ONLY be canceled under the following extenuating circumstances:
- Medical injury, with a valid doctor's note on office letterhead
- Pregnancy, with a valid doctor's note on office letterhead
- Military deployment, with a valid letter from your commanding officer
NOTE: After the marathon application for the drawing closes, the Bronze Hero level fundraising minimum will increase to $1,750.
