Race to Deliver 4M to Benefit God's Love We Deliver
Join us on Sunday, November 23 to be part of the Race to Deliver 4M to Benefit Gods Love We Deliver—a powerful movement to raise awareness and funds for New Yorkers battling illness.
This year marks the 32nd running of the race, underscoring its crucial role in uplifting our community through the vital work of God’s Love We Deliver.
God’s Love We Deliver is more than a meal service; it’s a lifeline. They prepare and deliver nutritious, medically tailored meals directly to those too ill to shop or cook. Last year alone, with the tireless dedication of thousands of volunteers, they delivered over 3.3 million meals to nearly 11,000 individuals. Every meal is free of charge and crafted with love and care.
Founded in 1985, God's Love We Deliver is celebrating 40 years of serving NYC! God’s Love We Deliver cooks and delivers nearly 80,000 medically tailored meals each week to New Yorkers affected by life-altering illness. Because illness affects the entire family, God's Love also delivers to their clients' children and caregivers. Your support is urgent and crucial. Every $10 donation funds one nutritious meal for a person on their program. Help God’s Love deliver meals—and love—by donating today.

We at New York Road Runners believe running should be accessible to everyone. To help, we created NYRR Race Free to provide race fee assistance to those who qualify financially.
In 2024, we offered 1,000+ program slots and more than 3,000 complimentary race entries, including for the TCS New York City Marathon. Race Free applications that met the eligibility criteria were pooled based on previous participation and selected by borough or zip code until all slots were filled.
Check out the Race Free page this summer for updates on the 2026 application period. (Please note runners apply in 2025 for races in the calendar year of 2026.) Note: For consideration in the 2026 program, you will need to reapply and qualify once the application period opens—access is not guaranteed.
