This year TCS will field more than 40 runners.

To further support this partnership, TCS is introducing the “Bank of America Chicago Marathon App Powered by TCS.” Successfully deployed at the Mumbai, Bangalore and Amsterdam marathons, also sponsored by TCS, the customized app provides a range of exciting, race-specific features for marathon runners as well as enthusiasts who want to keep track of the event, including race results, an interactive course map, a race weekend calendar with details on the Health & Fitness Expo and local attractions, and elite athlete information, as well as event communications and alerts.
