Chicago Marathon

Running the World Marathon Majors is considered the pinnacle of amateur marathon running, offering a mix of prestige, unique experiences, and a long-term, tangible goal.

The “bucket list” of running 

The World Marathon Majors (which includes Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York, and expanding to Sydney) are considered the most aspirational marathon events in the world.  

Want to compete on the same course as the elites and be part of something truly prestigious? We have charity places for Berlin and Chicago in 2026 and London in 2027.
