2024 NYC Marathon SoleMate Details

Go on a marathon journey with Girls on the Run NYC as a SoleMate in the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon! Raise funds to allow us to inspire confidence and joy in more girls while you train for this iconic race on November 3, 2024. 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 these 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.

Fundraise $5,000

Your commitment will get you guaranteed entry into the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon, and we’ll reimburse your race registration fee. Your fundraising will support a full team of twenty Girls on the Run participants in an upcoming season — including their 5K experience, supportive materials like sneakers, and all the tools & materials their team needs to learn and grow together.

Choose Your Own

Do you have your own entry for the TCS NYC Marathon? You can still join our 2024 TCS NYC Marathon SoleMates team and 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 2024 TCS NYC Marathon” option. We ask that you fundraise $1,500 for Girls on the Run NYC, and you can set your goal even higher! You are not held to a fundraising commitment if you have your own entry.

The Finer Details

Once you register to be a SoleMate, you are responsible for meeting the $5,000 fundraising commitment by November 1, 2024. 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 3, 2024, wedding. We will work with you on options to help you achieve your fundraising commitment!

"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."
