TeamUp with Autism Speaks to run for a world of difference and help us create an inclusive world where all people with autism can reach their full potential. As one of the World Marathon Majors, running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon is the ultimate achievement for elite athletes and everyday runners alike. Join Autism Speaks TeamUp and accomplish a personal goal by reaching the finish line in Grant Park!

To join the team and receive a guaranteed entry, you must agree to raising at least $2,350. We encourage our participants to have a goal of exceeding that fundraising minimum as the funds you raise go towards supporting our critical mission.

If you ALREADY HAVE AN ENTRY to the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon (either as a time qualifier, legacy finisher, or through the public drawing), you can still join Autism Speaks TeamUp. Since you have your own entry, you will NOT be held to the fundraising minimum like those who need an entry from our inventory are. Participants will need to meet fundraising benchmarks to receive team benefits.

Benefits of running with our team include:

  • Complimentary guaranteed entry to the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon
  • Autism Speaks TeamUp gear
  • Training Program
  • Pre-race team dinner
  • Customizable personal fundraising page
  • Fundraising incentives, and fundraising support

When registering for a Team Up event you are committing to raise the minimum funds stated above, and will adhere to the stated fundraising deadlines. Space is limited on the team and will be distributed on a first come, first served, basis. Race entries are non-transferrable and may not be deferred.
