Yom Kippur
The date of the 2011 Bank of America Chicago Marathon falls the day following Yom Kippur. We appreciate the fact that this may impact some runners' plans to participate. To that end, we have been consulting the Chicago Jewish community for advice on ways to accommodate runners observing this religious holiday, and we will continue to do so in the period leading up to the race.

If you would like to receive information about any special accommodations for the race, please click here.

An example is our continuing partnership and coordination with the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, which has compiled a list of Chicago area synagogues that have agreed to welcome out-of-town worshippers through their doors during the Yom Kippur observance. For more information on the participating synagogues please visit www.juf.org/marathon.
