CARA History CARA is the voice of the every-runner; whether you run a few miles a week, are training for your first marathon or competing for an age group win. Since 1978 the Chicago Area Runners Association -- CARA, a nonprofit organization, has been dedicated to running advocacy in the Chicago area…city and suburbs. Starting as the local running club, CARA has grown into the organization that championed the running movement across Chicagoland. We help runners by offering paths to a wealth of training, social, outreach and advocacy programs, while promoting friendships and personal fulfillment. CARA has a tradition of successful engagement and actions on issues important to runners and the community. Stretching back nearly four decades, CARA has been firmly rooted in giving a voice to runners’ concerns and improving the running experience in Chicagoland. We are dedicated to bridging the diverse concerns of everyone interested in running – running groups and clubs, and municipal, businesses and community leaders – to make this a great place to run. Our advocacy and social outreach efforts have expanded to include ‘Go Run, a community based running program designed to activate neighborhood parks, build communities and encourage active lifestyle through running and volunteerism. ‘Go Run, in cooperation with the Chicago Park District, hosted 72 free timed 5K and 1-Mile events in local parks in 2017. Over 6,000 finishers of all ages and abilities have already completed a ‘Go Run. Striving to be the best and most active source for running information, CARA shares its expertise, enthusiasm and passion for excellence with runners in a helpful and approachable way. We do this by bringing together the interests and enjoyment of an active and diverse running community across the Chicago area. In support of our year round training programs, racing competitions, advocacy and social outreach initiatives, we welcome new members, new sponsors, and new charity partners. CARA is devoted to expanding, motivating, supporting and celebrating the running community of Chicagoland, connecting runners to resources that enable them to run—farther, faster, better, for life.

FROM CHRIS HENNESSY, PRESIDENT Greetings Runners! Every year we come together and celebrate our most dedicated racers who have completed the CARA Runners’ Choice Circuit Races. Your dedication to racing and to your clubs is remarkable. Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic racing season! Coincidentally, or perhaps not so, the Chicago running community has had some milestone anniversaries of late. Just a few months ago, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon celebrated 40 years as the premier running event in Chicago, and one of the largest marathons in the world. From small beginnings -- 4,200 runners finished the first Chicago Marathon in 1977 -- more than 40,000 runners crossed the finish line. In addition, race day crowned the first American winner in 15 years. It was truly a historic event. This year, CARA celebrates 40 years of helping runners reach their goals. From its humble beginnings -- in 1978, CARA has grown to the third-largest local running organization in the United States, and approximately 2,000 CARA-trained runners finished last year’s Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Beyond training runners to complete races of all distances, or simply to complete their very first run, CARA has expanded its advocacy and outreach programs. Through ‘Go Runs held in parks around Chicago, CARA has helped motive children, families, and communities to share in the sport that we all love. As we reflected on all that we have accomplished over the years, we thought it appropriate -- and long overdue -to recognize the lifetime of achievements of a man integral not just to the success of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon but to running in Chicagoland in general: Carey Pinkowski. Since joining the marathon almost three decades ago, Carey has helped to transform the race into a truly global event. Carey leads a remarkable team that year after year puts on a premier running, spectating, and social event. We honor Carey with the CARA Lifetime Achievement Award, and look forward to more years of a great race. Finally to the CARA Staff and all of our member leaders, I thank you for the work you do to make running better for all of us! I will see you on the path, the trails, the sidewalks, and the roads … Christopher Hennessy CARA Board of Directors, President
FROM GREG HIPP, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear CARA Members, As we celebrate 2017, I cannot help but feel proud of all that CARA has accomplished this past year, our 39th year. Yes, we are about to turn 40 in 2018! This year we look forward to celebrating our history, and most importantly, the members who have made CARA one of the largest and most impactful local running organizations in the country. Running changes lives, and at CARA we have long understood that through the "Power of the Group" we can make running more than sport. As much as we love chasing personal goals, competing, and working towards fitter and healthier lives, I believe running’s most powerful benefit is its ability to build community. CARA is and has long been, a community of incredible people and accomplishments. A look around a CARA training site, a Saturday ‘Go Run or a Circuit race starting line can be inspiring. You see crowds of what may appear to be normal people. But they are doing extraordinary things, such as running a marathon, giving back, or racing their way to new achievements. But through it all, they are together and finding community through running as they work towards their common goals. We live in one of the greatest running communities in the world. We enjoy World Class races; robust training programs, incredible trails and greenways, and a race circuit other communities envy. In addition, let us not take for granted all of our local running clubs, running stores and races that are among the best in the country. Resolve to support local running this year by doing business with these running community drivers. From our early days, CARA leadership has worked hard to serve Chicagoland running. As we move into another year our principle of "member-driven" will continue to be our identity and our strength! I look forward to all we will accomplish together this year, and that when people say who is “CARA”, they know it is our members. We are “CARA” and I am so proud to together be part of the amazing and caring community of runners we have become over the past 40 years. All the Best, Greg Hipp CARA Executive Director
CARA LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: CAREY PINKOWSKI Presented by Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K Since its inception, recipients of the CARA Lifetime Achievement Award have been those who have made significant and impactful contributions to the Chicagoland running community. Award recipients are chosen through nominations and feedback from CARA membership, CARA staff, the CARA Board of Directors and the Chicago running community at – large. As executive race director of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K, Pinkowski is a leader in the running industry both locally, and around the world. Chicago is a part of the global running scene thanks to the quality and competition of these events. The Bank of America Chicago Marathon reached its 40th year in 2017 and was highlighted by Galen Rupp becoming the first American male to win the race in 15 years. Carey Pinkowski
“Pinkowski has made a unique impact on running in Chicago. His events inspire runners to train, race and fundraise like few others can. Carey and his team’s impact goes beyond sport!” say’s Greg Hipp, CARA’s Executive Director. Carey Pinkowski came to the helm of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon nearly three decades ago, serving as its executive race director since 1990. During his tenure, the Chicago Marathon has experienced astronomical growth, expanding from 6,000 registered runners in 1990 to more than 44,000 finishers today, including runners from all 50 states and more than 130 countries. For CARA, the Chicago Marathon has long been the inspiration for the organization’s popular Summer Marathon Training Program. Nearly 2,000 runners participate yearly at sites across the city and suburbs, with nearly 40% of those runners running for a charity fundraising team. Pinkowski is a regular visitor to CARA training sites and clinics, always providing encouragement to local runners and unique incites on race preparation. Throughout the growth of the event his connection to the local running community has remained visible and strong. “CARA trains Chicagoland’s runners, but it is the marathon that provides the inspiration. We are not able to make
Lifetime Achievement Award, Continued... the impact that we do in local running without events like the Bank of America Chicago Marathon”, say’s Hipp. Pinkowski was born in Harvey, Ill. and raised in Hammond, IN. He has run only one marathon himself: the 1983 Chicago Marathon, stopping the clock in an impressive 2:20:43. As a teenager, he cemented his legacy as a track star at Hammond High School in 1975 when he and two teammates, Tim Keough and Rudy Chapa, each ran two miles in less than nine minutes, becoming the first high school trio to ever accomplish such a feat in the same season. As a solo performer, Pinkowski picked up two state championship titles in the mile. He went on to compete at Villanova University where he was a three-time All American in cross country and track.
Pinkowski has received numerous awards including the Illinois Track & Cross Country Coaches Association Meritorious Service to the Youth of Illinois Award (1998), Chicago Area Runners Association Gold Medal Award for Event Production (1999), MarathonFoto/ Road Race Management Race Director of the Year Award presented by Running Times magazine (2001), Runner’s World magazine’s Best Race Director Award (2002), the National Distance Running Hall of Fame’s Fred Lebow Award (2004) and USA Track & Field’s Allan Steinfeld Award for Lifetime Achievement in Men’s Long Distance Running (2009).
