ING New York Marathon
This is one of the biggest and most exciting road races in the world. From the buzz of the early morning arrival by bus on Staten Island to the finish in Central Park, your emotions will be working overtime as you take in the sights and sounds of one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
The race offers an unrivalled and overwhelming atmosphere, as over 40,000 runners from across the world are cheered on by thousands of spectators who line the streets along the entirety of the course route.
CHILDREN 1ST works with Sports Tours International and have various sponsorship packages available so, even if you have never thought of running a marathon before, why not take on the challenge and start your training now? Imagine the sense of achievement crossing that finishing line in Central Park knowing that you have raised much needed funds for Scotland’s most vulnerable children.
