The Challenge
The Chicago Lights Associates Board challenges you to run, walk and jog a “marathon” throughout the month of October – and no, you do not have to run 26.2 miles straight! This event provides an opportunity for anyone interested to support Chicago Lights by voluntarily walking, running, or biking (Peloton & Treadmill included!) any distance they choose between October 1st – October 31st as their own personal “marathon.” All proceeds will go towards supporting Chicago Lights programs, from our Youth Programs (such as Tutoring and Summer Day) to our Social Services for the Chicago community.
