New York City Marathon

The ING New York City Marathon® is one of the world’s largest and most famous road races and one that many say is the most exciting in the world. Starting on Staten Island you cross the huge expanse of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge into the diverse communities of Brooklyn before running along the streets of Manhattan. We have guaranteed places for this event and would love to have you on board!

'While fundraising one of my friends told me about how Asthma UK had helped their family, providing opportunities for them to participate in sporting activities in a safe environment and providing support for his parents, meaning that he and his sister, who both had severe asthma, led happy and active childhoods. It was so nice to have a real and personal reminder of how the money we were raising would help to change people's lives.'
