Racing Toward Opportunity and Justice
The New York Urban League is proud to be an official Charity Partner of the TCS New York City Marathon. Since 2017, our team of dedicated runners has gone the distance—not just across the five boroughs, but in helping us empower African Americans and other underserved communities across New York City.
Each mile run and every dollar raised fuels our mission: to provide pathways to higher education for college-bound students, resources for small business owners of color, and critical training and support for those who are unemployed or underemployed.
When you run, cheer, or give in support of NYUL, you’re helping us build a future rooted in education, economic self-reliance, and equal respect for civil rights. Together, we’re proving that every step can spark change.

2024 Team Recap
The work of the New York Urban League is guided by our vision that every child is ready for college, work, and life; every New Yorker has access to a living wage and good benefits; every New Yorker has an equal right and responsibility to participate fully in our democracy and civic processes; and all people have a right to justice and fairness.
Team NYUL, our marathon run team partners with us to raise awareness and funds for our work to help ensure that Black and Brown New Yorkers secure a first-class education, economic self-reliance, and equal respect of their civil rights through our programs, services, and advocacy.
