Team Foundling

The United Airlines NYC Half wil take place on March 15, 2026! The half marathon, which has historically featured nearly 25,000 runners, will send athletes along a 13.1 mile course through Brooklyn and Manhattan. Participants that run with a charity partner like The Foundling receive a guaranteed spot and other benefits.

In partnership with New York Road Runners, we are excited to sponsor a team of five runners this year. Team members will be required to raise $2,000 to support our programs and services that benefit nearly 30,000 children, adults, and families each year. In exchange, team members receive guaranteed entry and other exclusive benefits, as well as ongoing encouragement from our Foundling community.

Members of Team Foundling not only receive guaranteed entry to the United Airlines NYC Half, but benefit from a number of other perks including:

A Foundling-branded, uniformed New Balance Tech Tee for race day
Team building events and activities planned by The Foundling
Access to digital fundraising materials and dedicated one-on-one fundraising support from The Foundling’s staff
