About the Event
59,226 finishers. $680M raised. The world's largest marathon.
The World's Largest Marathon
In 2025, the TCS New York City Marathon became the world's largest marathon ever with 59,226 finishers — and raised $680M for organizations like The Phoenix. This year, we're adding to that legacy.
Every step our runners take represents the thousands of steps our members take every day in their recovery journey. By supporting our team, you're helping keep The Phoenix's programs free and accessible to anyone seeking a sober active community.
Runners
Each athlete is running 26.2 miles for The Phoenix community
#001
Chris Hanson
My goal is to raise $5,000 to help keep Phoenix programs free for anyone with 48 hours or more of sobriety.
#002Kara Link
I started running about 8 years ago, and it's quietly become one of the most important parts of my life.
#003Jonathan Prim
I didn't start running because I loved it. I started because I needed something in my life to change.
#004Kylie Maginnis-Corbitt
I've been in recovery since July 2024, and I'm running my first marathon.
#005Jen Weiner
Join me on my journey to NYC — every mile matters
#006Jaclyn Wilmot
I'm a Colorado native, a mom of two teenage daughters, and a woman in recovery.
#007Emma Page
Hi, I'm Emma. 26, Brooklyn-based, and this will be my third marathon and my second go at NYC.
#008Christopher Thistle
Athleticism and fitness have been one of the biggest factors in my recovery, and I owe a lot of that to The Phoenix.
#009Joe Quinones
Running, much like recovery, has taught me a kind of discipline I never knew I had. Both show me that the impossible is very possible, if I stay focused. A day at a time. Step by step.
#010Chris Brown
I'm running with The Phoenix because I believe in their mission deeply. Most of us know someone touched by addiction, and recovery doesn't happen in isolation.
#011AJ Jones
I'm AJ Jones, a Brooklyn-based personal trainer, runner, and sports writer, and I'm running the 2026 NYC Marathon for Team Phoenix.
