Run the 2026 Bank of America Chicago 13.1 Half Marathon
Mercy Home was chosen to be one of only six charity partners for the Inaugural Bank of America Chicago 13.1 in 2022 because of the positive impact we have on children and families in Chicago. Help us continue this great work by participating as a Mercy Home Hero in this unique event that weaves through historic parks and boulevards and vibrant, culturally diverse neighborhoods, starting and finishing in Garfield Park.

- Paid guaranteed entry (while supplies last)
- Your own fundraising web page
- A fundraising guide
- Support from our Mercy Home Heroes team manager
