If you have already secured an entry for the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half, you can still run for the Mercy Home Heroes! Self-secured runners have a $250 fundraising minimum.
Run the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half
New York’s Times Square is shut down to traffic only twice a year – on New Year’s and for the United Airlines NYC Half. This half marathon, organized by New York Road Runners, starts in Brooklyn and arrives in Manhattan via the Williamsburg Bridge with extraordinary views of the city skyline, travels through Chinatown, along the FDR Drive, 42nd Street, Times Square, and Central Park!
Join us for all New York City has to offer! We will kick off the weekend with a pasta dinner at a lovely NYC Italian restaurant and meet up for a pint at a local Irish bar following the race (it is St. Patrick's Day weekend after all). With a minimum fundraising commitment of $1,500, we’ll give you everything you need to reach your goal:
- Guaranteed entry (while supplies last)
- Your own fundraising web page
- A fundraising guide
- Support from our Mercy Home Heroes team manager
- A Mercy Home Heroes team jersey
- Access to a training plan
- Access to the Mercy Home Heroes store
- Invitations to Mercy Home Heroes exclusive events, including the pre-race pasta dinner and post-race meet up
- Eligibility for fundraising incentives
