Pacing the Vision

“ In 2011, I was a 26.2-year-old teacher running my first marathon while raising $650 for Chicago Run’s programs.

Today, as Executive Director, I am taking our mission to the global stage: Taking on the TCS New York City Marathon and TCS London Marathon to break barriers for Chicago’s youth."
— Kyra Marcano

We’re stepping onto a world stage because the moment demands it—calling on corporate partnerships, brand sponsors, and community pillars to meet this moment!

By anchoring this campaign's production overhead, our title sponsors unlock a direct pipeline of impact: once $25,000 in anchor funding is secured, all net revenue directly supports the growth of Chicago Run’s no-cost youth running programs.
