Multi-Location Operation Serves 800 People
CHICAGO – (Oct. 17, 2025) – Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria coordinated a large-scale catering effort across three locations to serve 800 Team World Vision participants and their families during the 2025 Chicago Marathon weekend, marking 15 years as the organization’s trusted catering partner for this annual event at Millennium Park.
The multi-location operation featured fresh salads, breadsticks and pasta with meatballs, providing pre-race fuel and post-race celebration meals for Team World Vision runners and their loved ones. Team World Vision mobilizes marathon runners to raise funds for the organization’s humanitarian programs, including clean water access and child sponsorship initiatives in vulnerable communities worldwide.
“We’re grateful to be Team World Vision’s catering partner for this special weekend,” said Marc Malnati, owner of Lou Malnati’s. “It’s always an honor to serve organizations doing meaningful work in our community and to help families come together around a meal as they celebrate their runners’ achievements.”
The catering order required strategic coordination across three Lou Malnati’s locations to handle the volume while maintaining quality and ensuring timely delivery for both pre-marathon and post-marathon gatherings.
“Team World Vision has trusted us year after year to bring their families together over great food during marathon weekend,” Malnati added. “Being their go-to caterer for this event has become one of our favorite Chicago traditions.”
