RACE IS OVER 87% SOLD OUT!

Charity Program

The Chicago Triathlon is proud to partner with so many great charities that give you the opportunity to race for a cause. If you’re passionate about our partners, consider supporting their cause by joining their team and dedicating your race to helping others. Many of these organizations offer their own full-service training programs.

We appreciate all of the charities that will be a part of race weekend and look forward to adding new and returning organizations to next year’s race.

Charity Benefits

For four decades, the Chicago Triathlon has partnered with charities that support a wide range of causes that focus on improving healthcare, youth development, social services, and many more! Keep the tradition going and become a charity partner with us today by registering your group.

Charity Program Perks (depending on team size):

  • $10 off team member registration

  • When your charity accumulates 10 or more participants, you will receive a complimentary Finish Fest space with tent to act as your hangout destination post-race.

  • When your charity accumulates 20 or more participants, you will receive a reserved space with tent to act as your hangout destination pre-race.

  • If your charity accumulates 45 or more athletes, you will begin to unlock VIP passes to use as you please.

Additional Notes:

  • The success of each race depends on thousands of volunteers. In this charity program, each official charity partner is required to provide two (2) race weekend volunteers for every 10 charity participants per race.

  • If you have unlocked a dedicated Start or Finish space and you plan on providing your own tent, please communicate that to your program manager before August 11th.

  • If your charity has qualified for a finish fest space and requires additional equipment, you MUST notify the program manager prior to August 11th.
