Learn how you can support lifesaving breast cancer research with this year’s 13.1 mile race
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) is proud to be a charity partner for the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon for an eighth consecutive year, bringing together a dedicated team of runners to support breast cancer research. For the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, Team BCRF included 26 runners who raised over $68,000, helping to fuel research making an impact on patients lives today—and in the future. This year, we’re hoping to make an even bigger impact. Every mile run and every dollar raised directly supports the research that moves us closer to a cure.
The race takes place March 21, 2027. Those interested in running with Team BCRF must fill out our application form here. Please take note of the conditions below before applying:
Each participant must raise a minimum of $2,000 for BCRF. They are also required to pay their own entry fee into the race. We will provide each runner with a Team BCRF shirt, swag, and one-on-one support to help with their fundraising leading up to the race to help meet and surpass the above goal.
All applications must be received by December 9, 2027 and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The runners selected will be announced no later than December 18, 2027.
Right now, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Thank you for championing this work with Team BCRF and helping us turn 1 in 8 into none in 8. For questions, please email teambcrf@bcrf.org.
