It's officially the new year, and we're kicking things off with a brand-new way to give back to your community, make new friends, and crush your personal goals at the same time. We're launching the Association House Run Club, a year-round group for runners of all skill levels to motivate one another and support an amazing cause!
Our annual tradition of recruiting runners to fundraise at the Chicago Spring Half Marathon inspired us to bring the runner's spirit of perseverance to the rest of the year. In 2025, Association House Run Club members will have the chance to train alongside people who share a love of Chicago and a desire to improve every day.
When you join, you'll commit to:
Running a minimum of 2 races this year (with the option to choose your own race)
Pledge to raise $250 per race to directly impact our program participants.
But to prepare for those big days, we'll train together every other Saturday on The 606 trail, pushing each other to be the best we can be and taking in the trail's gorgeous views together.
In return for your support, we'll offer:
Free training plans for 5K, 10K, and half-marathon runs
Exclusive AHC Run Club swag
and prizes for top fundraisers.
Our previous half-marathon runs have been a blast, and we love how rising to personal challenges goes hand-in-hand with giving to others.
"Running changes everything. When you invest in self-improvement, you invest in bettering the community where you live," says one of our previous runners. "We're here to build a community around our shared vision of Chicago. Every step builds the change we want to see, and we can make that happen together. For yourself and for your city."
