Volunteer Information

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Each year, the Chicago Marathon relies on the support of thousands of dedicated volunteers to help staff one of the largest marathons in the world. Volunteers provide integral support throughout race weekend at the Chicago Marathon Health & Fitness Expo, as well as on race day.

Thank you to the more than 12,000 volunteers who helped make the 2009 Bank of America Chicago Marathon a huge success. We appreciate your support and look forward to working with you again at the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
