2024 New York City Marathon Liberation Team

Liberation Programs: Find Your Strength in the TCS New York City Marathon!

Meet the runners of Team Liberation and donate to their fundraising goals today!

Join Liberation Programs on an unforgettable journey as we run the TCS New York City Marathon, the world’s biggest marathon, and raise critical funds to support individuals and families living with substance use and mental health challenges.

The most recent report from RAND Corp, a nonprofit research organization, reports 4 in 10 Americans know someone who has died from a drug overdose.

This isn’t just about crossing the finish line; it’s about finishing for healthier futures. By committing to this challenge, you’ll fuel hope and opportunity for those struggling with substance misuse and mental health disorders.

“Overcoming addiction is the real accomplishment. The least I can do is run 26.2 miles to support these heroes.”

NYC Marathon Runner, Rob

We believe help, and hope, is possible for everyone.

Ready to join us?

Please fill out our online application form here. (Note: we have filled our allotted bibs for this year. However, we are working to hopefully obtain more spots and will keep a waiting list of names of runners in case we have more spots or originally selected runners drop out.)

Do you already have a spot in the marathon and want to run for charity?

We encourage all runners of the NYC Marathon to consider joining our team and running for a cause. If you received your bib through a qualification or the lottery, we welcome you to join Team Liberation and we will set up a fundraising page for you! Contact us at development@liberationprograms.org if you or someone you know is running the marathon and wishes to run for Liberation.

Together, we run for hope; we run for healthy futures; we run to save lives.
