Cheer On Our Runners!

Did you know that Friends of the Chicago River is a charity partner for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon? This year we have 18 incredible runners taking on the task of fundraising for Friends and running the incredible 26.2-mile route throughout Chicago on Sunday, October 11.

Come join the cheering section at the corner of Wacker Dr. and LaSalle St. as the runners complete mile 3 and cross our gorgeous river. These runners have been training hard all year, and we are so grateful that they are advocating for our river while they do! Stay tuned for information on how you can apply to join our 2027 Bank of America Chicago Marathon fundraising team.
