Choice- Challenge- Community
Thank you for joining Team CdLS
Choice
Many runners say that running has changed their lives. Team CdLS runners have changed the lives of others. Those “others” are individuals with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS), a little-known genetic condition that causes individuals to struggle to walk, to talk and to eat. There is no cure for CdLS.
Challenge
Whether you run short distances for pleasure or are an experienced marathoner, Team CdLS offers the opportunity to set your own pace. Team CdLS races range in length from 5K to a full marathon, including two world renowned events – the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and the ING New York City Marathon. Your challenge is ours.
Community
Team CdLS runners experience a sense of community before, during and after the race. They are motivated by weekly training guides from the team’s virtual coach and inspired by cheers from individuals and their families on race day.

"I want to thank Team CdLS for letting me a be apart of this remarkable experience. As the runners assembled at the start, many people saw my Team CdLS shirt and asked questions and I was so proud. For me personally, it became so much more than running another marathon. And for that I thank the team."
Peter U.-Team CdLS Runner
