We are currently recruiting runners to join us for the Chicago Marathon! Jack's Team provides the tools you need to run a successful marathon: structure, coaching, support, a worthy goal and accountability.
Jack’s Marathon Team attracts athletes of varied experience from all stages of life- some are fighting their own battle with melanoma, some are running in honor of a loved one, all are determined to make a difference. Their success stems from a unique strength, passion and focus each brings to the team.
Won’t you join us and join the fight? You could save a life.

"Whether we were friends, family, or had just met that day, we had such care and compassion for each other. We were all running for one cause, we were Jack's Team, and that meant a lot..it did exactly what marathons are supposed to do: teach us about ourselves, and bond us to others through the experience. Thank you Jack's Team for an unforgettable experience!"
~ Kimber Lucius (2006, 2007 Team Member)
