Fresh Air Marathon - NYC

Want a breath of fresh air? Join the NYC Fresh Air Half-Marathon!

If you are in town and you run this race, the 21 KM course will "[take] you through beautiful Central Park, action-packed Times Square and ends with breathtaking finish-line views of the New York City harbor."

The Fresh Air Fund brings New York city children from low-income communities to free summer vacations.

According to the website, the  Fresh Air kids enjoy the following:


  • Playing in the backyard
  • Laughing in the sunshine
  • Catching fireflies
  • Riding bicycles
  • Learning to swim
  • Running barefoot through the grass
  • Gazing at the stars on moonlit nights
  • Building sandcastles
  • Making new friends
  • Simple pleasures of life away from the inner-city


Life's simple joys! The run is on March 20. So register now while you still can!
