CHARITABLE IMPACT
The ING New York City Marathon 2011 created an unprecedented charitable impact, raising $34 million for 190 nonprofit causes—much of which went to New York City-based charities. NYRR’s own charity team, Team for Kids, raised more than $4 million to fund community programs and initiatives that transform the health and daily lives of children who would otherwise have little or no access to regular physical activity.

ECONOMIC IMPACT
Running the ING New York City Marathon is a feat of willpower— and the race itself is a testament to the economic power of the 2 million spectators, the runners and their guests, the sponsors, the vendors, and NYRR. In 2011, the race generated a record $340 million for New York City, significantly impacting tourism, tax revenues, and the economy.
