Celebrating 42 years of spiritual fortification for international runners
of the New York City Marathon
A New York City Tradition for Jewish Runners
For the 42nd year, the TCS New York City Marathon, on November 1, 2026, will feature morning services for Jewish runners of all denominations at the Fort Wadsworth (Staten Island) staging ground. We welcome all runners expected to compete in the 53rd edition of this world-famous road race.
The International Minyan for Jewish Marathoners, inaugurated in 1983, is the longest established religious service of any kind, at any major sporting event anywhere in the world
Each year, The Minyan's organizers select a charitable organization working to make a difference in the world. Contributions are solicited from participants at The Minyan, and 100% of all money raised is donated directly to the selected charity.
This year’s selected charity is Chai Lifeline.
If you were unable to contribute at the Minyan, or would like to make a donation independently, please consider donating to either of these worthy and ever more important charities at the links below.
