Running the @ChiMarathon as a charity runner is such a meaningful way to train. 2016 - I had the privilege of running on the @PAWSChicago team, and for the 2020 virtual offering, I had the honor of supporting @GirlsontheRunCC, an org I deeply care about as a volunteer coach. 🏃♀️
Since 2002, the @BankofAmerica #ChicagoMarathon charity program has given our runners an opportunity to make their miles more meaningful and support a cause that’s important to them. Consider signing up with one of the organizations for 2021! chicagomarathon.com/apply/ch…
