It’s marathon season! This past Sunday, 60 runners ran the Chicago Marathon for Team Oasis. And on November 2, six will run the New York Marathon.
For months, these runners have been waking up early to log miles before work, giving up weekend mornings for long runs, and fundraising for Oasis.
We asked a few of our Team Oasis runners: What keeps you running?




So far, Team Oasis has collectively raised $130,000!
That $130,000 funds critical services for vulnerable and orphaned children in Kenya—like quality education, nutritious meals, safe shelter, medical care, trauma-informed counseling, and spiritual support.
We’re so proud of every member of Team Oasis! We loved cheering on our Chicago crew this past weekend and look forward to supporting our New York runners in a few weeks.
We’re excited to announce we have secured spots in the 2026 Chicago, New York, Berlin, Dublin, and D.C. marathons. And, in 2027, the Tokyo marathon!
