*** Bank of America Chicago Marathon's registration begins Feb. 1st and is expected to fill up fast. Consider running for Family Empowerment Centers and invite others to run for us on October 7. Register now for the Chicago Marathon and be sure to select us as your charity! Join us on facebook*** 

Running a marathon takes great determination and discipline. Running a non-profit organization in times like these requires more resources to meet the escalating needs that are facing today’s families especially in poorer urban contexts like ours.

We are bringing these two things together with our own Marathon Team believing that when you run with the purpose of supporting a charity you are more determined to succeed in your preparation for running. While at the same time the non-profit, in this case Family Empowerment Centers, can more effectively care for the needs of those we service.

Take some time to read through our website and the pages associated with our Marathon Team and if you decide you want to run for a quality charity in the Chicago Marathon and help us accomplish our mission than go to our Registration page and begin following the steps outlined.
