What is the minimum fundraising requirement?

The NYRR requires all charity runners to raise at least $1,000. By signing up with one of OAR's very limited number of entries, you agree to raise this amount by race day and have your credit card charged for any remaining balance. OAR's runners have historically averaged raising between $1,500 and $2,000. Runners who raise $2,500 or more receive a special incentive.

I forgot to set up my fundraising page during sign up. What should I do?

You will need the registration code Firstgiving emailed to you upon registration. In the event you cannot locate this or remember your password, please email support@firstgiving.com.

Next, return to www.firstgiving.com/oar. Select "Create a Fundraising Page" and click on the Chicago Marathon category. Enter the code, select your URL, and design your page from there.

 

I can't run in this year's marathon anymore! Can I get my money back?

OAR has a no refund policy and race entries are non-transferable for any reason, including injury. However, Team Members who raise over $1,000 this year will receive a complimentary entry to either the 2010 Chicago or Marine Corps Marathon/10K.
