Participate in an iconic NYC event while supporting our city!

As a charity participant, the money you raise (minimum requirements vary by event) will support the Y’s community programs—programs that empower youth, improve health, and strengthen communities in neighborhoods across the five boroughs.

OPEN NOW: Team Y Champions is accepting applications to the United Airlines NYC Half and the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half. Runners who participate and fulfill the fundraising minimums for both events receive non-complimentary guaranteed entry into the 2025 TCS NYC Marathon with the Y.

ALL 2025 EVENTS ARE OPEN FOR APPLICATION RIGHT NOW! NYC Half registration ends March 11.

Contact Tessa Greenberg for more information.
