Why run for Team RMHC?

There are lots of benefits to running a marathon, but there are some extra special benefits to running for Team RMHC. Besides running for a cause that's larger than yourself - that is, the opportunity to directly help RMHC improve the health and well being of children through their core programs - RMHC provides a great support system for you, as a runner:

• You have access to online fundraising support with your own customized web page via active.com.
• Roundtrip airfare and four days/three nights hotel stay in Paris, France for two people, and race entry to the Marathon de Paris, in April 2011 for the top Team RMHC fundraiser (does not include company matching gifts).
• You have access to discounted marathon training available through Chicago Endurance Sports (CES), our official training partner. We will send you weekly training tips provided by CES.
• We will issue you a Team RMHC Nike Technical running shirt
• You are invited to a hearty pasta dinner the evening before the Chicago Marathon
• RMHC will host a VIP gear check and hospitality tent in Charity Village on race day for our runners.

If you have questions about any of the above, or about the Charity Runner Form, please contact Charles Rubner at charles.rubner@rmhc.org or (312) 437-2929 for more information.
