NYC Marathon Lottery
The application for the 2026 TCS NYC Marathon lottery is now closed.
We do not make decisions about our Bras for Girls marathon team until after the lottery drawing on March 4.
When you complete our team application form, there is a place to indicate if you are entering the lottery but would still like to join Team Bras for Girls — even if you secure your own bib.
Team members are selected on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to complete your interest form early.
Run the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon with Bras for Girls
We are beyond excited for another incredible year at the TCS New York City Marathon!
Bras for Girls is proud to once again partner with New York Road Runners and the TCS NYC Marathon for our biggest fundraiser of the year. Every mile our team runs fuels confidence, opportunity, and movement for girls across the country.
This isn’t just a race — it’s a movement.
Why Join Team Bras for Girls?
When you run with us, you become part of a vibrant, purpose-driven team. We intentionally create a fun, supportive, and inspiring marathon experience — from your first training run all the way to the finish line in Central Park.
Every dollar raised helps provide sports bras to girls who need them so they can move comfortably and confidently.
$5,000 = 500 girls impacted.
That’s 500 girls who can stay in sports, build confidence, and show up fully as themselves.
