Run With Purpose — Support Our Team at the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon
On April 26, 2026, our team will be lacing up for the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half Marathon with one shared goal: to raise critical funds for the Iron Mike Youth Sports Foundation.
We invite you to be part of this meaningful journey.
Why We Run
Every stride we take supports our mission to make sports affordable and accessible for all children, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Through your generosity, we’re able to fund programs that give kids the opportunity to play, grow, build confidence, and feel a true sense of belonging.
Because no child should ever be left on the sidelines.
Honoring Iron Mike’s Legacy
This effort proudly honors the memory and enduring legacy of “Iron Mike” Snyder, whose passion for youth sports continues to inspire everything we do. His belief in the life-changing power of athletics lives on through every child who gets the chance to participate because of your support.
Support a Runner. Change a Life.
Below you’ll find our incredible team of runners who are dedicating their training, time, and energy to this cause. Each runner has their own fundraising page, and every tax-deductible donation, no matter the size, makes a direct impact.
When you support a runner, you’re not just helping them reach the finish line. You’re helping a child step onto the field, the court, or the track for the very first time.
Thank you for running this race with us.
