Thank you for your interest in joining the Finish MS team for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon taking place on Sunday, October 12, 2025!

Please note that this is an application and does not guarantee entry onto the team or into the event. Our program receives a high level of interest, and we have a limited number of entries. We are looking for runners who are connected to MS or the National MS Society and are committed to raising a high level of funds and awareness for people living with MS and the Society’s mission to cure MS.

The fundraising minimum varies based on the date your application is received:

• $1,500 – Runner who secured a spot before lottery drawing (Dec. 7^th) – Limited spots available
• $2,100 – Runner who secured a spot after lottery drawing (Dec. 7^th)

Please Note: 

• If selected, there will be a $25 registration fee to hold your spot on the team. This is a tax-deductible donation to the National MS Society and will count towards your total fundraising requirement.
• Runners are responsible for paying the BACM registration fee for this event (approx. $230 for U.S. residents / $240 non-U.S. residents) as it is not covered by the National MS Society.

THANK YOU! Please contact Shannon Feeney, Shannon.feeney@nmss.org with any questions. The selection process will begin in November 2024. We receive many inquiries and appreciate your patience with our response.
