The Children of Peru Foundation is proud to have been selected for the thirteenth time as member of the Charity Program of the TCS New York City Marathon to take place in November 2026!!
This allows us to provide guaranteed TCS New York City Marathon entries to runners who commit to make a donation or raise funds for the Children of Peru Foundation .
The minimum fundraising commitment was in 2025 at $5,000 (with a registration fee of $500 that will count towards your minimum fundraising commitment), but will be increased in 2026 to at least $6,000 (with a registration fee of $600 that will count towards your minimum fundraising commitment). This final amount will be decided in Q1 2026.

Fundraising
Team
Children of Peru participants are encouraged to set their own fundraising goals. We require that charity participants raise as least $5,000, but why stop there? Every dollar you raise for the
Children of Peru Foundation helps us fund our different programs for poor kids in Peru.
We will use the dollars you raised to make a difference for poor children in Peru. Please note that NYRR requires athletes gaining entry via charity partners to meet fundraising commitments. Applicants are required to provide credit card information as a guarantee. Failure to comply will result in entry cancellation.
“Can I join if I already have my entry to the NYC Marathon?”
Runners who have already registered for the race (lucky at the lottery, 9+1, etc…) and want to join our team so that they can also run for a cause, are more than welcome!! Our HakuSports page will be up and running soon! Email
us to learn how to join us!
Why Run for the Children of Peru Foundation?
Since its creation, the
Children of Peru Foundation has been working with several groups, association and NGOs to help poor children in Peru in the areas of health and education. We have built schools, we sponsor a school for special needs children, we are sending surgeons every year to provide free surgeries to children in need and we want to do much more.
Whether you finish in record time or just cross the finish line, your participation will have made a difference in the lives of hundreds of Peruvian children and their families.
Email nymarathon@childrenofperu.org for more information and for registration forms. Please specify if you need a guaranteed entry or if you are already registered for the race.
