Fundraising Commitment and Goal

All participants must commit to a minimum fundraising requirement and a fundraising goal. Minimum Fundraising Requirement = $5,000.

Beyond meeting the minimum fundraising requirement, you’ll also set a personal fundraising goal (the amount you hope to raise). We encourage you to be ambitious; the more you raise, the greater your impact will be!

Please note: All participants are responsible for paying the New York Road Runners entry fee.

What would you set your fundraising goal to?

Note: If you reach your goal, we ask that you continue to fundraise up until marathon day.

Are you prepared to make a self donation? If so, what amount?
