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.
