Stop traffic in the Big Apple while running through the city that never sleeps! This November, the RUN FOR AUTISM program will be back in New York City for the 50th anniversary of the TCS New York City Marathon, and we want you to join us. This year’s RUN FOR AUTISM NYC Marathon team will be the largest in OAR history, with over 100 runners. You can be one of them — limited entries are still available.
This famous 26.2-mile course leads runners through a full tour of New York City’s five boroughs. Start in Staten Island and continue through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx before the grand finale in Central Park. This race is known for its crowd support, elite racers, and celebrity sightings.
OAR is honored to have been associated with the NYC Marathon since 2012. Involvement in the NYC Marathon helps increase autism awareness and advocacy and also provides an opportunity for OAR to showcase the RUN FOR AUTISM program nationally. The NYC Marathon is an established world-class event, and OAR is proud to be a charity partner raising important funds to support autism research.
