Mission Statement
The Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA), is a non-profit organization committed to serving and advocating for the local running community. We are Chicagoland’s running advocate, providing accessible opportunities for all runners to train, race, learn, be social and volunteer.
About This Cause
The Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA), a non-profit organization, started in 1978 as a protest movement and running club. Rooted in seeing the world from a runner’s perspective, the founders of CARA emerged as the voice of a grassroots project that demanded high quality race standards, more opportunities for women to run and top-notch training programs. Since then, CARA has championed the running movement across Chicagoland and the suburban regions, functioning as an organization dedicated to running advocacy, runner education, running accessibility, training programs, a competitive race circuit and high-quality runner focused events. At CARA we believe running is more than running. It's friendships and camaraderie. It's a ticket to better physical and mental health. It builds community and encourages volunteerism. We on a mission to make sure everyone in the Chicagoland area has access to the benefits of running. CARA's two community based programs - 'Go Run and Run Crews - aim to make running free and accessible for every neighborhood around Chicagoland, with a specific focus on Chicago's South and West sides.
