The 2021 Chicago Polar Plunge is going virtual! Although we won’t be at North Avenue Beach in person on March 7, the spirit and fun of plunging on Chicago’s beautiful yet chilly lakefront will live on virtually, capturing the magic we all know and love from that day.
Join #TeamSpecialOChicago for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon! Whether you are a first time marathoner or have run multiple races, #TeamSpecialOChicago is a great way to train and run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon! We are a group of runners of all ages and abilities in support of the 7,500+ superstar Special Olympics athletes in the city. Spots are limited so we encourage you to register today!
