2026 TCS New York City Marathon

NUSTIAN is proud to be an official charity partner of the New York Road Runners for the TCS New York City Marathon 2026. The course runs through all five of New York City’s boroughs: Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan’s iconic Central Park. It is a 26.2-mile journey through the world’s most diverse city and a model for big-city marathons around the world. Through this partnership, we are able to provide you the opportunity to make your miles meaningful and support NUSTIAN’s mission nationwide.

Why do you want to participate?

The TCS New York City Marathon represents an incredible personal challenge, and running it for NUSTIAN USA makes the experience even more meaningful. Supporting an organization that invests in education, opportunity, and community gives every step of my marathon journey a greater purpose.

Completing 26.2 miles through New York City’s five boroughs will require months of preparation, discipline, and determination. I want that commitment to contribute to something beyond my personal accomplishment. Running for NUSTIAN USA allows me to help create meaningful impact while inspiring others to support an important mission.

How will you meet your fundraising goal?

I will take a thoughtful and consistent approach to fundraising by first reaching out to friends, family, classmates, and colleagues to share my story and explain why supporting NUSTIAN’s mission is important to me.

I will also regularly post training updates and fundraising milestones on social media, keeping supporters involved throughout my marathon journey. Sharing both challenges and achievements will help maintain momentum and encourage additional donations.

Additionally, I will explore sponsorship opportunities through my workplace and extended network while carefully tracking my fundraising progress. I am dedicated to meeting my fundraising commitment and ensuring I achieve my goal.
