COOP “runs” New York!

COOP has been named an official charity partner of the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon — and we’re building Team COOP.

On Sunday, November 1, 2026, the marathon will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its iconic five-borough course. In honor of this milestone year, New York Road Runners is expanding its Official Charity Partner Program to more than 670 charities — the largest in history — with a collective goal of raising $100M.

We’re proud to be part of it and your support of one of our runners will help power economic mobility for first-gen and low-income college grads.

Meet Team COOP

Each runner has committed to raising at least $3,000 for COOP. Help them reach their goal!

Why COOP?

COOP is a nonprofit organization overcoming underemployment in five regions across the country. We help first-generation and low-income college grads develop the skills, networks, and confidence they need for the careers they deserve.

Since 2014, COOP has supported more than 10,000 recent graduates on their journey from underemployment to upward mobility.

When you support Team COOP, every mile you complete helps open doors for the next generation of talent.
