Team ALS at the 2026 Tokyo Marathon
March 1, 2026
Run the iconic Tokyo race while making a difference for people living with ALS.
Team ALS is heading to the 2026 Tokyo Marathon, and we’re looking for four passionate runners to join us on this unforgettable journey. As a charity runner, you’ll receive guaranteed entry into the race and the full support of ALS United Greater Chicago every step of the way.
Each runner will commit to raising $9,090 to support our mission: to unite and empower the ALS community through care, advocacy, and research.
Why $9,090? In recognition of the fact that every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes, someone loses their battle with the disease. At ALS United Greater Chicago, we are fighting to change those statistics.
Whether you’re chasing a new PR, a World Marathon Major medal, or a deeply meaningful race experience, you’ll find it with Team ALS.
What You’ll Get:
-
Guaranteed entry into the 2026 Tokyo Marathon
-
A personalized fundraising page and support
-
Team ALS gear and training encouragement
- Entrance to the post-race party for you and three guests
-
The chance to run for something bigger than yourself
