Partnering with the world’s premier running community
Through our collaboration with New York Road Runners, a leading nonprofit dedicated to inspiring people and communities through running, Citizens helps champion athletes from greater NYC and around the globe. We're pleased to support NYRR events throughout the year, including the annual Citizens Queens 10K in June and as a Foundation Partner of NYRR’s flagship event — the iconic TCS New York City Marathon.
Showing up for NYC on race day and beyond
The first Sunday in November is unlike any other day in New York City. It's Marathon Day, a cultural moment shared by every resident, neighborhood, business and participant. And as NYRR marks the 50th anniversary of the TCS NYC Marathon's five-borough course, Citizens is proud to serve each borough — while celebrating the incredible race and unique stories that bring them together.
Every borough tells a story
The Citizens Miles That Matter Awards, in partnership with NYRR, honor purpose-driven NYC-based runners whose impact extends beyond the finish line into their communities. We know that some of the most meaningful miles are run off the course!
As we recognize the race's milestone year, Citizens will give one athlete from each borough a $20,000 grant to an Official NYRR Charity Partner. In addition, recipients will receive a bib to take part in the 2026 TCS NYC Marathon as a member of Team Citizens. We look forward to announcing the Miles That Matter Award winners this fall!
