Each participant is responsible for paying the registration fee when they register for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. This allows us to keep our fundraising minimums in line with the minimums The Bank of America Chicago Marathon sets as a condition of charities using their entries.

Registration is $240 for US residents (in 2025) - paid when you first register with BOA Chicago Marathon.

The fundraising minimum is $2200 for all runners and is set by the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Charity Program.

Each race/marathon sets fundraising minimums as a condition for charities using their entries - we can go higher, but we cannot go lower. We have chosen to set our minimums in line with the Bank of America Chicago Marathon’s predetermined limits.

The fundraising deadline for all runners is October 11, 2026.

For those who don't reach their minimum fundraising requirement by the due date, Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago staff will charge the credit card on file for the remaining balance.

No we are unable to issue partial or entire refunds. As a member of TEAM REBUILD, you are making the commitment to raise the MINIMUM due BY the deadline listed. For this reason, we encourage you to let your supporters know this deadline to ensure that your obligation is met.

Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of our charity guaranteed entries we cannot cancel, withdraw, or transfer any entries for TEAM REBUILD. It is vital that once TEAM REBUILD members make the commitment to joining, that the minimum fundraising level is still reached to ensure that we are still able to raise funds to ensure safe homes for everyone.

It is for this reason that we outline in the registration waiver that once people register online with TEAM REBUILD, they are still obligated to raising the funds regardless of injury, personal challenges or unforeseen circumstances that do not allow them to participate.

The ONLY exception are in cases of pregnancy or miscarriage for the expectant mother, and each race has their own process for deferrals so please refer to their policies on their websites. However, the fundraising minimum must still be met in the original year of commitment in order to defer.

The Bank of America Chicago marathon has strict policies that prohibit the transfer of race entries for any reason.

No. All TEAM REBUILD members are responsible for their own travel and accommodations to and from their event.
