Come Cheer on the Chicago Marathon Runners!  

Join Our Cheer Station!
Join the Old St. Pat’s Cheer Team for the Chicago Marathon.  Sunday, October 13th.  Old St. Patrick’s is the ½ point for the marathon and has a long history of supporting this world marathon major race.

It’s a great way to get volunteer hours done for school, invite your friends and family and be with  other St. Pat’s Members, bring family and friends.  First time attending the marathon, no problem we will help you get your cheer going along with our two Old St. Pat’s DJs - Andre and Johnny!

While supplies last all cheer station volunteers will get: An Old St. Pat’s Cheer team t-shirt, and Old St. Pat’s ball cap or bucket hat, thunder sticks, pom poms, cow bells, posters to decorate, and refreshments.

Register to Volunteer at the Old St. Pat's Cheer Station by October 6th

Bless Your Blisters
After the marathon, all runners and runner's dedicated supporters are invited to attend Mass at 5 pm at Old St. Patrick’s Church with Fr. Pat McGrath for a special blessing. Don’t forget to wear your medal!
