WhyHunger is a proud charity partner of New York Road Runners and has three bronze guaranteed charity entries in the TCS New York City Marathon on November 1, 2026!

We are looking for runners to fill these entry slots and join Team WhyHunger – will you run with us?

Perks of Running the TCS New York City Marathon with Team WhyHunger: 

  • Guaranteed entry into TCS New York City Marathon on November 1, 2026.
  • Free WhyHunger t-shirt and swag bag.
  • Hands-on support from WhyHunger’s development team to help runners meet their $4,000 charity fundraising goal.
  • The amazing feeling of completing a marathon and raising funds to support lasting and sustainable solutions to hunger in New York City and around the globe.

Requirements to Run the TCS New York City Marathon on Team WhyHunger

To use one of WhyHunger’s charity entries, each runner agrees to:

  • Establish an individual fundraising page on Haku, an online crowd-funding platform, under WhyHunger’s organizational profile on the site.
  • Raise a minimum of $4,000 for WhyHunger by October 28th, 2026 in order to be eligible to compete in the race on November 1st, 2026.

Runners will be asked to sign an MOU agreeing to the above, and will be required to place a credit card on file with WhyHunger. The card will only be charged if the runner does not reach the $4,000 goal by the fundraising deadline; if that should happen, the remainder of the funds needed to meet the $4,000 goal will be charged on October 29th, 2026 to ensure that each runner meets the requirement and remains eligible to participate in the race.
