NYJA is an official charity partner for the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, taking place on Sunday, March 15, 2026. NYJA has five guaranteed entries available. Join NYJA Runners to fundraise for NYJA and race with thousands of runners from Prospect Park to Central Park. Your fundraising will help power NYJA’s advocacy for social justice and democracy across New York.
Each runner commits to raising a minimum of $1000 to support NYJA. This is NYJA’s first time running as a charity partner with New York Road Runners, and you can help us meet or exceed our team fundraising goal of $5000! By running with NYJA, you’ll get access to tools to meet your fundraising and training goals, including:
– Guaranteed, non-complimentary entry to the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon (runners are responsible for paying their own entry fees– $135 for members of NYRR or $160 for non-members.)
– Ongoing support from NYJA staff to help you meet your fundraising goals
– Personalized fundraising website
– An official NYJA x United Airlines NYC Half Marathon shirt to wear on race day
– Opportunities to train and connect with other NYJA Runners
If you are interested in joining the NYJA Runners for this race, please email info@nyja.org with a short introduction to yourself and tell us why you want to run the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon with NYJA. Spots are limited, and applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Fundraising pages will go live early 2026.
