Run Crews
CARA Run Crews provide the opportunity for everyone to enjoy the support and camaraderie of Chicagoland's largest running club in their neighborhood. Run Crews are open to runners and walkers of all levels. Run Crews offer weekday group runs, with a focus on participating in weekend races, 'Go Run, and CARA training programs.
CARA Run Crews are member-led and supported by CARA staff. Members interested in leading a Run Crew anywhere in the Chicagoland area should contact CARA Community Development Manager Dominique Sabbs (dominique@cararuns.org).
Run Crews are open to everyone, and there is no cost to participate. Simply join CARA as a Friend Level member (FREE), or become a CARA Supporter Level member for full member benefits.
