Stonewall Community Foundation is proud to be an official charity partner for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon! The iconic marathon course sends runners on a tour through all five boroughs of NYC, starting in Staten Island, stretching through Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx before finishing in Manhattan’s iconic Central Park. It’s a 26.2-mile block party through the world’s most diverse city, and we’d love to have you on Team Stonewall. As an official Team Stonewall runner, you’ll have the opportunity to make your marathon meaningful by raising funds for Stonewall’s critical programs and services.
