Chosen believes every child deserves a family!
Adoptive families are faced with a unique financial challenge!
Adoptive families are faced with a unique financial challenge to bring their children home. The average adoption costs $30,000 and is the #1 reason interested families don't pursue adoption, according to Barna research.
Chosen helps families overcome the financial barrier they encounter.
163 million children in our world currently are orphaned and that number continues to climb. Chosen brings awareness and community engagement to this crisis. 500,000 children are in the U.S. Foster Care system and 100,000 are
waiting to be adopted. Millions languish in institutions all over the world and need someone to advocate on their behalf for a family.
"We believe there is no greater reason to compete than for someone else's victory."
Jenni Lord, Chosen Marathon Founder
“Adopting one child won’t change the world: but for that one child, the entire world will change.” – Unknown
"Every runner is part of changing a legacy - one step at a time, one child at a time."
Tammy Holm, Race Director Chosen Marathon

The Sears Family is just one example of how Chosen has changed lives forever! Chosen helped bring YoSeb home from South Korea after years of waiting. They raised over $10,000 in 2 years through Chosen Marathon and were able to
finally cross the finish line with him in their arms! There is nothing better than watching families run for a greater cause, growing their family by adoption!
