2026 TCS NYC Marathon Details

SoleMates train for the TCS NYC Marathon on November 1st, 2026, while raising funds for girls in New York City. As a SoleMate charity athlete, you will receive the support of our SoleMates Committee, staff, and community partners!

Currently, more than 80% of the girls in our program receive financial assistance to participate — and as a SoleMate, you make this possible. Funds raised by SoleMates allow girls the opportunity to participate in our life-changing program, empowering them to be confident, healthy, and joyful. Your support will help us maintain our commitment to serve all girls, regardless of financial need.

To get guaranteed entry into the race, you commit to one of these options:

Marathon Finer Details

Once you register to be a SoleMate, you are responsible for meeting the $5,500 fundraising commitment by October 26th 2026. However, we understand that life happens. You get injured, an emergency comes up, or your best friend asks you to be maid of honor for her November 1st, 2026 wedding, we will work with you on options to help you achieve your fundraising commitment!

Choose Your Own Marathon

Do you have your own entry for the 2026 TCS NYC Marathon? Fundraise for our program if you already have guaranteed entry into the race. When you register, select the “I already have my own entry into the 2026 TCS NYC Marathon" option. The fundraising requirement for this is $500, and you can set your goal even higher!

You give the gift of a Girls on the Run program season to fourteen students through your fundraising!

Hear from our SoleMates!

Nicole

"Being a SoleMate for the NYC Marathon was an amazing experience! From the beginning, Girls on the Run supported us and helped us in any way, and it made me excited to fundraise for such an amazing cause. Working towards something and training for the marathon gave me such a strong purpose over the past few months, and I loved the commitment of it. Running the marathon was an experience I'll never forget!"

Elisa

"When I saw GOTR's mission, it just clicked and gave me the inner confidence that I could maybe run a marathon again…and if I can’t do it for myself, I felt I could power through with GOTR's mission in my heart…and so I did."
