You can guarantee your spot in the TCS New York City Marathon by running with the Migraine Research Foundation. 

They're an official charity partner of the 2017 TCS New York City Marathon. They have a few guaranteed-entry slots remaining for any running club members who may be interested in the race and did not get in through the drawing! As a charity partner, MRF does have a fundraising requirement for each person, but they only require the minimum permitted by the event so there's no reason to shop around.

The NYC Marathon is the world’s most popular marathon. The fundraising minimum is $2,500. Provided to their team members: a personal fundraising page, free MRF gear, free entry into the New York Road Runners virtual training program, and fundraising support whenever you need it.

Contact Danielle Joyce at djoyce@migraineresearchfoundation.org if you have any questions or need further information, or you can register immediately here.

Here's a little info about us: MRF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises money to fund innovative research into the causes, better treatments, and a cure for migraine. Migraine affects 38 million Americans, and is the 6th most disabling disease in the world! In spite of this, research is severely underfunded. 100% of all money raised for MRF goes to fund research, as our operating costs are underwritten by members of our Board.
