Our Mission

Skokie Swifters is a running and walking club for everyone from beginners to experienced distance runners. Whether you want to get moving outside, are looking to make some new friends, or need a little motivation while you train for an upcoming race, you'll find a welcome community in the Swifters. 

We believe…

• Running and walking - no matter how fast, how far, or how long - can bring people together in ways that contribute to a healthy body and a healthy mind. 

• Community is at the heart of what we do. Whether it is supporting local businesses, learning about new parts of town, cleaning up our local paths, or providing our fellow residents with food pantry items, we foster connections between our club and the people of Skokie and surrounding communities.

• One run or walk can change your day. Many runs or walks can change your year. And consistent running and walking can change your life. 

We believe if you run or walk, you belong.
