Thank you for your interest in running the TCS New York City Marathon with Team World Animal Protection! Interest forms will close on March 31, 2027.

Because of the overwhelming interest in this opportunity and our limited number of spots, Team World Animal Protection runners will be chosen entirely at random. There is nothing to do to improve your chances of being selected. Every eligible entry has the same chance. Those selected to join Team World Animal Protection will be contacted on April 2, 2027.

To keep the process fair for everyone, please submit only one interest form per runner. If we find that someone has entered multiple times using different email addresses, all of their entries will be removed from the drawing.

Team World Animal Protection members will each receive:

  • Guaranteed entry into the 2027 TCS New York City Marathon
  • World Animal Protection-branded race gear
  • Fundraising support
  • The opportunity to help protect animals from cruelty around the world

The fundraising minimum for this year is $3,000. Please visit the official 2027 TCS New York City Marathon website for more information about the race. In addition to the fundraising minimum, all runners must pay race registration fees for the 2027 TCS New York City Marathon, which are:

  • $255 for NYRR members (plus a 5.7% processing fee)
  • $315 for non-members (plus a 5.7% processing fee)

Please be aware that the fundraising minimum and registration fees are as of November 2026 and are subject to change. 

If you have any questions, please contact Kara King, Development Manager.
