Our team is training for this year’s Bank of America Chicago Marathon and raising money for Special Olympics Chicago!

The Special Olympics Chicago Marathon Team (Team SOC) is a group assembled of runners of all ages and abilities in support of the Special Olympics Chicago mission. Team SOC supports runners in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon through fundraising, training, and day of support! We believe connecting people through sports and physical activity are the beginning steps in spreading our mission of inclusion, acceptance, and joy. Together, we can cross the finish line towards more inclusive communities… one runner at a time.

A very “warm” thank you to everyone who participated in the 2019 Chicago Polar Plunge, benefiting Special Olympics Chicago!
On behalf of our 7,500+ athletes and their families, thank you for making a lasting difference. We cannot express how much we value you and your support. You are helping to create a community of acceptance and inclusion for all!
