TCS New York City Marathon

2026 TCS New York City Marathon

FCA is proud to be an official charity partner for the ​​​​​2026 TCS New York City Marathon!

This is more than a race; it’s a movement. When you join #TeamFCA, you transform 26.2 miles into hope in motion. Every step you take helps protect, uplift, and strengthen Long Island’s most vulnerable children, families, and seniors. This year, we’re looking for 10 passionate runners to represent FCA and our community with purpose and determination.

Your Miles Make a Difference Here at Home

Running with #TeamFCA means you’re directly supporting the 35,000 Long Islanders we serve each year. Your fundraising efforts will fuel vital programs that provide safe housing for homeless youth, offer recovery services for families battling addiction, and deliver critical support to seniors in need. You won’t just be crossing a finish line—you’ll be helping your neighbors build a better future.
