How to enter the TCS New York City Marathon

Apply now for a charity place

Sponsorship target: £2,500

Please complete our application form for one of our charity places. Once we have received this, we will endeavour to come back to you with the outcome within two weeks.

Please note, we do not charge a registration fee upfront to secure your place, but you will be expected to pay a registration fee directly to the New York Road Runners. We anticipate this will be around $315 and you will need to pay this at the point of officially registering via their online entry console.

More information will be provided by our Events Team once we have allocated you a place.
