Prep for Prep is proud to be an official charity partner of New York Road Runners for the TCS New York City Marathon this year! Prep for Prep opened its doors in 1978 with twenty-five students and three teachers and continues to provide leadership development and academic programs for talented students of color underserved by the New York City public school system. Now in its fifth decade, the Prep for Prep Community is made up of over 5,000 students and alumni drawn from across New York City as well as neighborhoods just outside the five boroughs. Through this partnership, runners have the opportunity to make their miles meaningful by supporting Prep for Prep students.
The TCS New York City Marathon, held on Saturday, November 3, runs through all five of New York City's boroughs: Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan's iconic Central Park. It is a 26.2-mile block party through the world's most diverse city, and a model for big-city marathons around the world.
