MOCA TCS NYC Marathon Charity Team
Have you never run a marathon before? Don't be afraid. There are still two and a half months until the race day. If you can jog at least 2–3 miles today, a 10-week marathon training plan can prepare you to cross the finish line at the NYC Marathon on Sunday, November 6! The key is to gradually increase your distance while improving your speed during your shorter mid-week runs.

As we only have a few remaining guaranteed entries, SIGN UP now if you're still interested in joining Team MOCA as an official charity runner. Once a simple application is received, we will share a runner agreement via DocuSign for consideration. After the signed agreement is complete, an individual entry will be assigned directly from New York Road Runners (NYRR). It is a straightforward process to run with MOCA! We will lead you through all marathon logistics, such as race registration via NYRR, guidance on setting up personal fundraisers, answering marathon-related questions, and supporting you all the way to the finish line on November 6.
