Training For A Cause
Are you looking to make your training even more meaningful? Running/training for a charity can give your training more purpose and meaning, while helping bring attention and support to a cause that is personal to you. Fleet Feet Training x CES is proud to partner with a wide variety of wonderful charities that have guaranteed registrations to The Bank of America Chicago Marathon or other events, such as the Berlin Marathon. And, as a thank you for helping raise important funds, most of these charities will also cover your registration fee for the Fleet Feet Training x CES Marathon Program.
