You won’t ever run alone at the Chicago Marathon. The rows of crowd support throughout the course run deeper than a deep-dish pizza.
And, when you run with the Movember Athletics Team, you’ll also have the entire Mo community supporting you. They’ll be with you, shouting motivation to get you through every step, all the way from training to the Grant Park finish line. And with every mile, you’ll find greater purpose and meaning. So be at the start line for better men’s health.
What am I committing to?
- Fundraise at least $2,500 for Movember from January 1, 2026 to October 5, 2026 (please note: all fundraising is due before the month of Movember begins).
- Pay your registration fee. This is a requirement from the marathon organizers, but runners have a chance to earn back that registration fee.
- Provide your own travel and accommodation in Chicago.
- Represent, in training and in fundraising, Movember’s vision to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health.
