Volunteer
One of the best ways to give back to the community
Help Wanted
Volunteers are needed to help with the packet pickup at the Expo, distribute water at the aid stations, hand out finisher medals and in many other areas that make up race weekend. Volunteers must be at least 13 years of age. All minors must have adult supervision with them at all times.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are welcome to help out individually, with a couple friends or family members, or with a larger group (the more, the merrier). If you plan on volunteering on your own or with a small group, please click on the button below to get started.
Volunteer as a Group
Part of a group of at least 10 people? The Life Time Chicago Half Marathon also offers great opportunities to work as a team and have fun doing it to support the race. All large groups should email our volunteer coordinator directly. The Chicago Half Marathon will work with you and your group to ensure you have all the details you need and that you get there without a problem.
