Friends of + POOL was named an Official Charity Partner for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon, taking place on November 1, 2026. Be a part of history as 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the five-borough running of the race! 

We offer our charity spots on a first-come, first-served basis. Runners commit to fundraising $4,000 in exchange for a non-complimentary entry to this prestigious race. In addition to receiving an entry, runners will also gain a team to answer all your questions about fundraising, the race, and fun things to do in NYC (including great swim spots) if you are coming in for the race. Plus, you’ll have our entire community on race day to cheer you on!
