We are thrilled to become the first major marathon in the industry to launch an entry method tied to sustainability efforts, providing runners the opportunity to run and fundraise for NYRR Team for Climate to showcase their commitment to protecting our environment. This is a group of dedicated runners who wishto help NYRR on its journey toward Net Zero by helping to reduce the Carbon Footprint of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon.
