Chicago Marathon Aid Station 1 Volunteers

08/05/2025

Do you know someone you running the 2025 Chicago Marathon?
Come join me as we welcome 52,000 runners from around the globe run this world class marathon. I am the Aid Station 01 captain for the Chicago Marathon. We are located at about mile 1.6 (at State St. in front of Macy's) and are looking to recruit volunteers to pass out water and Gatorade to the runners. This is arguably the best location on the course because you can volunteer, get your free Nike hat and jacket, then after your shift (volunteers are done before 10am), you can go a few blocks West and catch your runners at the half, then proceed south to catch them at various other miles on the course.
