Run for Charity

New York Road Runners (NYRR) is committed to changing the world for the better through running and fitness. The ING New York City Marathon provides an opportunity for positive impact in the lives of so many. This year, we are pleased to expand that impact beyond the runners in the race and the cheering fans around the world by introducing a new charity program to raise money for noteworthy causes.

We have set aside a limited number of guaranteed entries for people wishing to run for charity, and who sign up to raise money for one of the marathon's two official charities (Team for Kids and Fred's Team), NYRR Special Charity Initiative, or one of several new marathon charity partners. Please note that no transfers between charities will be permitted.

Soon you will find details of many more charities with places for the Marathon – on this website! In return for one of these guaranteed places they will expect you to raise a pre-agreed amount which will help them in their valuable work. You get a sought-after entry and they get your vital support. Everyone wins!

The charity will normally provide you with a runner support package. This adds a great boost to your motivation to train, as you really won’t want to let them down!

Your chosen charity will do the utmost to look after you from the outset with a complete package to support you throughout both your fundraising and training.
