Running is more than just a physical activity; it's a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. With each step, the world fades away, leaving only the rhythm of your breath and the sound of your feet hitting the ground. It's a time when worries dissolve and clarity emerges, when you find strength you never knew you had. It allows you to build friendships and camaraderie that you may never have had.

The Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA) is on a mission to make sure everyone in the Chicagoland area has access to the benefits of running. Please consider making a gift to the Team CARA 'Go Run Campaign. Your investment will support CARA's 'Go Runs and Run Crews which aim to make running free and accessible for every neighborhood around Chicagoland!
