Bank of America Chicago Marathon

The Windy City is mighty pretty and now you can experience it for yourself by taking part in this world famous marathon! Bank of America Chicago Marathon has been voted the world's number one marathon course. With a perfect gradient, the route winds its way through the city, passing plenty of landmarks and with over 1 million spectators lining the course this is one event not to be missed!

Breakthrough has a limited number of guaranteed places for which we ask that runners pledge a minimum of £1500 in sponsorship. As we are not associated with any tour operators you are open to make your own travel and accommodation arrangements, leaving you free to stay as long as you like!

If you have your own place through the online entry system we would be delighted to have you on the Breakthrough team.
