Running for Team Esperanza means running for hope!
2027 Chicago half and full Marathon applications are open.
Our marathon team is made up of people who are passionate about eliminating disparities in access to high-quality healthcare. We believe that everyone deserves access to medical care regardless of where they live, their income, their health insurance status or their immigration status. For that reason, our participants are committed to raising funds to help our patients and make a real difference in the communities we serve. Each full marathon participant raises enough funds to provide complete medical care to ten (10) uninsured patients, which includes laboratory services. Together, our team can help more than 400 uninsured patients a year!
We recognize that running a marathon is a great commitment. That's why we support our team with training and fundraising resources. Each participant will receive the following benefits:
- Guaranteed entry to the 2027 Bank of America Chicago Marathon
- Personalized fundraising support
- Esperanza official team running singlet
- Fun and supportive activities throughout the year
Fundraising Minimum:
- Half Marathon: $850
- Full Marathon, in-state: $3,000
- Full Marathon, out-of-state: $5,000
