Entries For Equity

The Skokie Swifters Run/Walk Club is thrilled to be one of the run club recipients of the new Entries for Equity program, sponsored by Chicago Events Management! Entries for Equity was developed to increase representation in Bank of America Chicago Distance Series events to reflect the diverse backgrounds and identities of Chicagoland area residents and recognize groups who are creating a positive community impact.

Keeping this in mind, we will be prioritizing distributing these complimentary entries to individuals who represent diverse backgrounds and identities, who are first-time participants in Chicago Distance Series events, and/or who may not have the financial means to participate. 

The Swifters will be receiving five (5) complimentary entries to each of the following three (3) 2025 races:

We hope to award these entries to our loyal Swifter members that fit any and/or all of the aforementioned qualifiers! If you are interested in any of these entries, we ask that you fill out this form below by Friday, January 31
