    RUN AS A GUARDIAN CHAMPION

    Run the streets of New York City  — and make a difference in the lives of our guardians.

    This iconic half marathon kicks off in Brooklyn, where runners will make their way over the scenic Manhattan Bridge and along the city’s bustling FDR Drive. You'll be part of a thrilling run through Times Square — closed to traffic only twice a year, including for this race — and finish your journey in the tranquil beauty of Central Park.
