So, you’re interested in joining the 1% of the population who have run a marathon. Well, you’ve come to the right place.
Whether you’re an everyday runner or an elite athlete, you can make your marathon experience more meaningful by joining the Dare2tri Race2Raise Team — a community of charity runners who race to support athletes with physical disabilities and visual impairments.
In fact, our team is now recruiting runners for the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 9, 2023. To help you mull over your decision, here are four reasons you’ll love running the Chicago Marathon in support of Dare2tri.
1. Running for a cause you’re passionate about
