Run those miles to bring magic to kids in hospitals by joining the Miles for Magic Charity Running Team. Chicago Marathon registration has already started. If you’re interested, then please check how to be part of the OHM team before you register.

Special thanks to the ten runners have already signed up to build a top-notch first year team. We’re working towards a team size of at least 25 runners in order to receive post-close registrations and a whole basket of added bonuses from the Bank of America Chicago Marathon program. It’s an aggressive goal for our first year team, and there’s a lot of interest, BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please help us get the word out and tell your friends. If you have any questions, then please contact Sue Walton.
