Join our Semper Fi & America's Fund Team for the 47th Anniversary of the Chicago Marathon on October 12th, 2025.  A race that is among the fastest growing marathon road races in the world with its largely fast and flat course that finishes in Grant Park and is a Boston qualifier.

Registering with the Fund will guarantee an entry for you at the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. To receive guaranteed entry you will agree to a certain fundraising minimum ($1,500 pre Drawing - limited to 15 entries) or $2,500 post Drawing), pay a $50 team fee, and pay the race registration fee. If you already have an entry to the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon you can join the team as a "Fundraiser Only" and you will receive all of the same benefits as a Participant.  As a "Fundraiser Only" you will pay a $50 team fee and agree to a fundraising minimum of $300.
