Some of the groups marching with Team Chicago include: Chicago Front Runners, Chicago Gold Stars Soccer Team, Windy City Cycling Association, individuals competing in aquatics, basketball, bowling, cycling, dance sport, marathon, physique, road races, soccer, tennis, track & field, triathlon, volleyball, choral & visual arts will also be joining us.

Participants heading to Cologne can carry Red and White Balloons (official 2010 Games Cologne Colors) and Gay Games signs even if they have a separate float entry for the parade. We also encourage previous medal winners to bring their medals and march the route with us.
