Run with a Charity

As a runner you can give back to a cause you feel passionate about by fundraising for an NYRR Official Charity Partner.

Browse the list of Official Charity Partners of the TCS New York City Marathon here and reach out to any of the organizations directly to learn more about how to get involved.

• The minimum fundraising requirement for the TCS New York City Marathon starts at $3,000 (requirements vary by charity).
• The non-refundable race registration fee for the TCS New York City Marathon is $255 for NYRR members and $315 for non-members.

If you’re a nonprofit looking to become an official charity partner, NYRR offers blocks of guaranteed, non-complimentary entries to qualified and selected nonprofits through the Official Charity Partner Program.

The program offers an excellent opportunity for nonprofit organizations to raise funds to support their missions and services. Participating charities can offer guaranteed entry to runners who fundraise on their behalf in premier races such as the TCS New York City Marathon and the United Airlines NYC Half.

Nonprofits accepted into the Official Charity Partner Program are able to raise vital funds through runners looking to gain guaranteed entry into our sold-out premier events. NYRR partners with these nonprofits by offering them blocks of guaranteed entries plus other benefits. Runners can choose a charity they are passionate about and dedicate their run to a great cause.

Official Charity Partners are selected through an application process several months before the event. All charities must be registered 501(c)3 nonprofits to apply. There is no application fee. If you have questions about the Charity Partner Program, please e-mail charities@nyrr.org.
