Every step, every mile, and every dollar get us closer to winning the fight to end diabetes! Make every step count and compete in the Chicago Marathon with Team Diabetes®. Team Diabetes is a partnership: You commit to reaching the fundraising minimum and in exchange, Team Diabetes provides you with support, coaching, and fun perks in the months leading up to and throughout the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. 

When you run with Team Diabetes, you will receive:

A Team Diabetes race-day singlet and an “in-training” T-shirt 

A spot in a free training program through Chicago Endurance Sports*

A personal fundraising page and one-on-one fundraising support

Note: The registration fee is $50 for any entry, which is applied toward the fundraising minimum. The Team Diabetes registration fee is non refundable. The training program unlocks for supporter runners when they reach their fundraising minimum. 

The charity runner gets Team Diabetes guaranteed entry to the marathon, but pays an additional  registration fee directly to the Bank of America Chicago Marathon ($230 U.S./$240 international + taxes/fees).

The supporter runner does not get Team Diabetes guaranteed entry to the marathon. You must secure their own entry through the Chicago Marathon lottery.
