Join Team Alex in the 2017 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon

JOIN OUR TEAM ALEX RUNNERS – Have Fun, Get in Shape and Give the Gift of Play!

Yes, we are doing it again! Team Alex is gearing up to run the 2017 United Airlines NYC Half on Sunday March 19, 2017, on a 13.1 mile tour of New York City.

Get in shape while making a difference. Alexandra’s Playground is committed to bringing more children the opportunity for safe, active play. Every year we identify and build playgrounds for very deserving communities in the tri-state NY/NJ/CT area. We also build much needed playgrounds in Haiti.

If you would like to join us please email Andrea at andrea@alexandrasplayground.org

GUARANTEED ENTRY

As an official New York Road Runners charity partner, Alexandra’s Playground has a limited number of secured entries for the race. We allocate those spots to team members who do not get entry via the NYRR lottery and who commit to fundraising a minimum of $2000. That fundraising commitment must be met by March 16, 2017.

We ask that all team members first try to secure a spot in the race via the NYRR lottery system. Click here to sign up with NYRR. Please note the lottery closes on December 1st and the drawing will take place on December 8th.
