2026 TCS New York City Marathon

Ready, Set, Race Like A Girl!

The Chick Mission is thrilled to be an official charity partner of New York Road Runners for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 1, 2026. The iconic course runs through all five New York City boroughs, making it a 26.2-mile block party highlighting the energy and diversity of the Big Apple. Through this partnership, we’re racing (like girls!) to fund fertility preservation for women battling cancer. Every stride we take towards 26.2 miles is a reminder of our collective resilience and that women are built to do hard things.

Please fill out our official race team application to be considered for our 2026 TCS New York City Marathon race team. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis as limited spots remain available.
