We're proud to kick off the summer race season as title sponsor of the annual Citizens Queens 10K — and as a Foundation Partner of NYRR’s flagship event, the TCS New York City Marathon, each November.

Citizens supports athletes, fans, volunteers and residents throughout the year at annual NYRR events across the five boroughs, including the:

United Airlines NYC Half Marathon
Mastercard New York Mini 10K

New Balance Bronx 10 Mile

Recognizing champions who make a difference in NYC

Each year, only a few make it to the podium at the annual TCS NYC Marathon while others will continue to make a lasting impact far beyond the finish line. To honor these unsung heroes, Citizens and NYRR have launched the Citizens Miles That Matter Awards — celebrating New Yorkers whose inspiring journeys both on the marathon course and in their communities embody the heart and hustle of the city.
