Team Friendship
NYC Marathon 2027
Every Mile Has a Name
This isn’t a race against the clock. It’s 26.2 miles for the kids who wait by the window every week for their friend to arrive. For the teens who show up, not because they have to, but because friendship isn’t something you schedule.
When you run with Team Friendship, you carry their names with you. Every mile funds real friendships between teen volunteers and children with special needs.
Who Is Friendship Circle
Friendship Circle pairs teen volunteers with individuals with special needs, creating real friendships through weekly visits, social programs, and community events. What started in 1994 has grown into a movement across 80+ cities worldwide.
Team Friendship is how runners, hikers, and cyclists power this mission through endurance events.
