Charity Partners
Charity running has become an important part of the Life Time Chicago Half Marathon & 5K, and we want to continue supporting your programs and the causes they focus on improving. Training for a half marathon is a challenge, and finding the right motivation is a great way to keep it fun and help athletes stay committed.
Charities need our help more than ever. Help support and run with a charity you are passionate about.
