Skokie SwiFters Run/Walk Club

Reminder: There is no running/or walking this week. We'll see you at the Swiftiversary Party - $10 per adult at the door when you check in!

It’s here! It’s SWIFTEMBER!

The Swifters are turning THREE years old this month, and we are celebrating for the next 30 days by posting memories, sharing fun times we’ve had, and reminiscing about all the #SwifterSpirit we’ve shared - please join us! Head to our social medias and post a pic of your fav Swifter event. Share a story about a Swifter that is special to you. Tell us about the first Swifter event you attended. Make a video about what the Swifters mean to you. Post a collage of your fav Swifter moments…

However you choose to celebrate SWIFTEMBER, be sure to snap a pic, tag us (@skokieswifters), and use the hashtags #SWIFTEMBER, #SwifterSpirit, and #StaySwifty - and that’s it! You can also send us your pics directly. You might find yourself in a raffle for some sweet Swifty prizes. We look forward to seeing your Swifty memories!

We can’t wait to celebrate in person at our 3rd Annual Swiftiversary party in a few days, and continue the party all month long! Thanks to all of you for making the Skokie Swifters Run/Walk Club so Swiftastic - cheers to THREE!

Marathon Fundraisers

Each year tens of thousands of runners earn their entry to the Chicago Marathon by raising money for a wide variety of charities.

Unsurprisingly, we've got some Swifters that are part of that group, and they could use your support!
