Run the Chicago Marathon 2026 in aid of feeding children
Take on one of the world’s most iconic marathon experiences at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon 2026, one of the legendary Abbott World Marathon Majors. Known for its flat, fast course and incredible crowd support, Chicago delivers a world class race day through vibrant streets and diverse neighbourhoods, while you raise life changing funds to feed children in Palestine, Pakistan, Malawi and beyond.
This is more than a marathon. It’s a way to turn every stride into hope, stability, and real impact.
What to Expect:
Unique finisher medal to celebrate your achievement
Flat and fast course that’s ideal for chasing a personal best
Unmatched crowd support and a high energy city atmosphere
Timed results so you can track your performance
A powerful finish line moment you’ll never forget
Why Run with Charity Right?
Your marathon is more than a personal challenge. It’s a chance to fight child hunger and help children stay in school.
By running in aid of Charity Right, you’ll support school meal programmes feeding children in Palestine, Pakistan, Malawi and beyond. For many children, a daily meal at school is the difference between attending class or staying home, between falling behind or moving forward.
