GOODY BAG
Whether you are running a race of your choice or the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, you’ll receive a pre-race goody bag. If you are running a race of your choice, your goody bag will be mailed to you.
TEAM PASTA DINNER
A highlight for Lung Power Team members each year is RHA’s Lung Power Team pasta dinner just before the Bank of America Chicago Marathon – mark your calendar now for Friday, October 6, 2023.
Team members, RHA staff and LPT volunteers gather at a local restaurant to meet and renew friendships, enjoy a delicious meal, and share racing tips and stories of inspiration.
Running a race of your choice on another day? We hope you’ll still join us on October 6 to meet your fellow team members and be part of this special night.
