Thank you for your interest in running with Team Read Ahead! Read Ahead is proud to have been an official charity partner in the TCS New York City Marathon and United NYC Half for over a decade.
We announce our participation in each race annually alongside other charity partners. For more information on our teams for upcoming races:
- TCS New York City Marathon: our 2026 Marathon team raised $160,000! We do not yet have a timeline for when we will know how many marathon spots we’ll be allocated for 2027, and when we will be permitted to begin recruiting runners. NYRR determines timing.
- United Airlines NYC Half: Read Ahead is pleased to be an official charity partner in the 2027 United Airlines NYC Half, taking place on March 21, 2027! Team Read Ahead has not yet opened applications for the 2027 United Airlines NYC Half; in the meantime, welcome to fill out the runner interest form below to be added to our priority outreach list.
