About Edible Schoolyard NYC
We’re Edible Schoolyard NYC, a nonprofit organization on a mission to make edible education accessible for every child in NYC. We believe edible education—where children experience hands-on cooking and gardening—helps them gain the skills to contribute to a healthy and sustainable food system for us all.
Team Edible Schoolyard NYC
As a member of Team Edible Schoolyard NYC, you will commit to raising a minimum of $1,500 in support of our programs. We will provide you with tools and support to make your fundraising a success. As part of the team you will get:
- Personalized fundraising page and fundraising support
- Opportunity to visit an ESYNYC garden
- Branded gear
Team Selection
We are currently recruiting team members for the 2027 United Airlines NYC Half. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis with a strong preference for runners who are personally connected to our mission and excited to raise funds for ESYNYC. We will take into consideration runners who are eager to go above and beyond our fundraising minimum.
Please note that at this time we are unable to respond directly to runners seeking a spot for the 2027 TCS New York City Marathon. We will post updates on this page as they become available, and interested runners may complete our interest form to be among the first to be notified when we begin accepting applications.
Questions about your application status can be directed to marathon@esynyc.org. We are a small team so we will respond to your emails as soon as we are able. Thank you for your patience and interest in our work.
About the Race
This exhilarating 13.1-mile race kicks off in Brooklyn, leading participants across the legendary Brooklyn Bridge and along the scenic FDR Drive. Runners will also enjoy the rare chance to dash through Times Square, a location closed to traffic only twice a year, before concluding their journey in the stunning Central Park. Learn more on the NYRR website.
Fun fact: The United Airlines NYC Half is the only race to ever run across the Brooklyn Bridge!
