Who is the Children’s Marathon Team?

The Children’s Marathon Team is a highly motivated group of runners who show their dedication to improving the lives of sick children and their families by raising funds for Children’s Memorial Hospital while training for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Join the team or sponsor a runner and demonstrate your commitment to helping children reach their full potential.

Watch a video about the remarkable efforts of our Children’s Marathon Team and let it inspire you to join or donate! Last year's team raised more than $350,000 for the areas of greatest need in the hospital. With your help — this year could be even better!

A very special thanks to Carl Allegretti for raising more than $34,000 for the Children’s Marathon Team in 2011! Read tips from Carl on our Fundraising Tips page.
