2005

• In 2005, Team M3 began as a participating charity of the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon. Only adults ran in Team M3 as a fundraising effort to support the Marilyn G. Rabb Foundation.
• Students from Foreman High School supported the runners by assisting with a water stop during the 2005 marathon; many students asked if they could run themselves.

2006

• In 2006, after ensuring student safety and selecting an appropriate training program for student distance runners, Team M3 was opened to students from Foreman High School, a Chicago public high school.
• As the MGR Foundation’s mission is based on individuals investing their time in direct service, the fundraising aspect of Team M3 was eliminated, and, in its place, adults on Team M3 served as mentors for student runners.

2007

• In 2007, all 23 Team M3 Student Runners completed the Chicago Distance Classic. While the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon was called off early due to extreme heat, several student and mentor pairs did finish, and all remaining students and mentors remained healthy and on the course as the race was called.

• Over 80% of our mentors from 2007 have returned; Team M3 has added new mentors for the 2008 season to accommodate the expansion to three schools.
• Several mentors are former Team M3 student runners who have graduated from Foreman High School and have returned to support their younger peers. Additionally, several mentors are teachers of Team M3 student runners.
