Course Description:
You want more, Chicago? So do we. HARD CHARGE Chicago is back in 2014! A new four-mile course, more than 20 kickass obstacles and a full camera crew are showing up July 19. Best of all, the event is again benefitting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital.
Race on a national TV show in the CHARGE for Glory heats, starting at 8:30 a.m. There's a cap on these televised heats so don’t wait to sign up. If you’re a tad bit intimidated, no worries. Get in on the CHARGE for Fun heats, beginning at 10:00. You can also volunteer on our CHARGE Crew to be part of summer’s best party.
HARD CHARGE is the toughest experience you will ever love! Our events are four to six miles of obstacles, mud and mayhem. Each course is designed to challenge you and get you pumped up for the awesome post-race party at CHARGER Village - complete with food, fun and beverages. It doesn’t matter your current fitness level, HARD CHARGE will test you and push you to the max. When the dust has settled and the mud has dried, you'll already be looking forward to taking on your next HARD CHARGE mission!
Charge for Fun: Fire up for a fun and intense HARD CHARGE course that will get you muddy, sweaty and maybe even a little bloody - but rest assured, we'll have world-class medical professionals ready and rarin' to go. Navigate the course at your own pace individually, or tackle the mission with your team. And don't worry if you can't make it through an obstacle. There are plenty more waiting to be conquered!
Charge for Glory: This is the time to put it all out there. Give it everything you've got and compete for the chance to be on TV on a HARD CHARGE course designed to test your speed, strength and stamina.

HARD CHARGE is a proud partner of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. A portion of every registration, as well as 100% of funds raised through HARD CHARGE, goes directly to your local CMN Hospital.
Beyond monetary support, HARD CHARGE is committed to furthering awareness of CMN and all it does for children’s hospitals across the country. From human interest features and PSAs in our TV show to signage and a special VIP Tent at every event, Children’s Miracle Network is part of nearly every aspect of HARD CHARGE and integrated into our brand. You can get involved with the CHARGE for Children program.
Team:
You can CHARGE individually or as part of a team. We love the camaraderie that goes with being part of a team, so it’s definitely recommended to round up your friends and take on the mission as a group. If you are going as a team, don’t half-ass it. Wear matching shirts, sport bright knee socks, dress in full costumes or even carry a team flag. Make it fun or make it serious, just make a scene.
