CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY UNITED TEAM

$5,000 for our $50,000 goal honoring the NYC Marathon's 50th year

Run with Purpose. Run with Community

Community is stronger than cancer.
That belief fuels everything we do at Cancer Support Community (CSC) and it is what drives Team CSC United to the starting line.

CSC is the largest nonprofit provider of free social and emotional support for people impacted by cancer. Through support groups, educational workshops, navigation services, and healthy lifestyle programs, we help patients, survivors, caregivers, and loved ones feel supported, informed, and connected at every stage of the cancer experience.

Team CSC United NYC Marathon 2026

In November 2026, Team CSC United will take on one of the most iconic races in the world, the TCS New York City Marathon.This year, every mile carries meaning:

Cancer impacts every community. While the journey can be overwhelming, connection changes everything. As we run through New York’s five boroughs, we do so to honor resilience, strength, and the power of showing up for one another. Our 2026 team includes ten runners with a collective fundraising goal of at least $50,000. Each runner commits to raising a minimum of $5,000, directly supporting CSC’s free programs for people impacted by cancer.

Why We Run

Cancer does not pause life, and neither do the emotional challenges that come with it. CSC exists to ensure people have access to trusted support, real connection, and reliable resources when they need them most. By running with Team CSC United, you help strengthen communities, expand access to care, and remind people facing cancer that support is always within reach.

$335 SPONSOR A CSC UNITED TEAM RUNNER!

A gift of $335 covers the registration cost for one athlete. Your support allows CSC to invest more of each runner’s fundraising directly into the programs and services that support people impacted by cancer, while also giving our runners the encouragement of knowing that someone is standing behind them before they ever reach the start line. This is a special way to support the team. It is personal, tangible, and deeply appreciated.

When you support a runner, you are helping turn one athlete’s marathon experience into something much bigger: greater awareness for CSC, more momentum for our fundraising campaign, and expanded support for the people and families who rely on our community during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
