Official Charities

Team for Kids
Team for Kids, the premiere charity of NYRR, is a committed group of adult runners from around the world who add meaning to their miles by raising funds on behalf of New York Road Runners youth programs. Funds raised by Team for Kids members allow NYRR to provide free or low-cost school- and community-center based health and fitness programs to children who would otherwise have little to no access to regular physical activity. Currently, these programs serve nearly 100,000 children each year in more than 400 schools and community centers in New York City, nationally, and in Africa.

In addition to a guaranteed spot in the NYC Half, Team for Kids members receive an exclusive training schedule for runners of all abilities, weekly Team runs, VIP race day perks, access to exclusive Team for Kids running and fitness events, fundraising support and more.

To learn more about Team for Kids and how to run for a cause greater than yourself, call 646.758.9693, e-mail teamforkids@nyrr.org, or visit www.tfkworldwide.org.
