The Mr Men and Little Miss Team in Chicago
Since its inaugural running in 1977, The Bank of America Chicago Marathon has developed a global reputation for its fast, record-setting course. Year after year The Bank of America Chicago Marathon hosts representatives from more than 120 countries and all 50 of the United States to compete on this world stage. Elite runners compete for a portion of $650,000, the largest prize purse in the sport, while the flat, city landscape and cool, fall climate combine to provide the best backdrop for posting records – personal, national and world.
This is the perfect marathon in a perfect location for a personal best with our team always easy to spot in our trademark Mr Happy and Mr Tickle running vests, only made possible by the generous support we received from Chorion Rights Limited.
Every runner is a star in our eyes and deserving of our deepest gratitude. The motivation and determination required for preparation and training, with runners pounding the streets in often wet and cold conditions is awe-inspiring. Whilst completing 26.2 miles is a huge personal achievement, many runners also let us know that collecting sponsorship monies is almost more demanding. For this, we also like to thank and include runners’ families and friends whose kind sponsorship and encouragement is so important; this support and commitment is so deeply appreciated and vital in raising much needed funds for our fight against the biggest childhood cancer.
We are so grateful for the opportunity, so proud of all our runners and so thrilled with everything that is achieved through The Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
