Marathon Charity Cooperation

The Marathon Charity Cooperation are DC area charities that have combined their training and race day programs to enhance the experience of the runners who are making sacrifices to serve these charities.

Why Should I Join a Marathon Charity Partners (MCP) Team?

To most, marathons are seemingly impossible. They take everything you’ve got...and then some. Somewhere around mile 19, or maybe mile 24.5, you need that euphoric push that draws you to that coveted 26.2. It isn’t only a physical force. It’s the realization that your efforts are about to pay off--the finish line is just ahead.

SO YOU’VE DECIDED TO RUN A MARATHON

Let one of the Marathon Charity Partner charities be your motivation on those days when you need an extra push. It isn’t going to be easy, but we’ll be there to help. Our network of resources and veteran runners can offer guidance on training, give needed assurance. We can also match you up with other participants to train with. We’ll also be there to provide race day benefits such as bag drop, fan support, and a post race celebration - all the little things that mean a world of difference on the big day.

YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE

To join one of the Marathon Charity Partner charities, you must commit to fundraising, which supports the missions of these very important causes. Just like training and running a marathon, raising the funds won’t be simple, but it will be rewarding and help you focus on your marathon program.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

We will do all that we can to enhance your marathon experience and fund raising efforts. We’ll provide the fund assistance to help you meet your commitment. We will be there for you from start to finish.

MAKE THE MOVE

We can do it together. The runners in our grass roots program have said that the cause helped them focus on reaching the finish line and that the satisfaction of teaming with a great charity lasted well beyond the gratifying pains and sore muscles of race day. NOW THAT’S RUNNING WITH MEANING!!
