Community Partners

Chicago Area Runners Association
COMMUNITY PARTNERS PROGRAM

The CARA Community Partners program is a way to provide an enhanced experience for our runners in Chicago and the surrounding Suburbs while increasing revenue for Chicago/Suburban businesses and organizations.

CARA has over 8,000 members that participating organizations will be able to reach as a Community Partner. This program is FREE; you just need to provide a discount to our members.

We welcome partners of all sizes, from a large franchise running store, or a one of a kind spa. We will help you develop a partnership that fits your needs and resources.  Click here to see a list of our participating Community Partners!

WHAT WE PROVIDE:

When you sign up to be a Community Partner, we provide you with the following free material, depending on your specific needs:

• Logo displayed on our Community Partners page
• Live link to your website
• A brief sentence about the benefit(s) you will provide our members
• Opportunity to have your organization highlighted in our weekly newsletter

WHAT COMMUNITY PARTNERS PROVIDE:

There is no cost to participate in the Community Partners Program. All that we ask in exchange for the marketing we provide is the following:

• You must offer a discount/benefit to our members.
• You must provide us details about your business which we can pass on to our members.
• You must provide a representative from your business that will help be the liaison between CARA and your organization.
• You must actively work to help our runners/members have an enjoyable experience in Chicago and the Suburbs. We simply ask that you are actively involved in the partnership and do all you can to make the program a success.
