2026 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon

Thank you for your interest in running the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half on behalf of the National Brain Tumor Society! We are accepting applications for both runners who will obtain a bib through NBTS and runners who have secured a bib through another source, such as the race drawing, bib deferment, or the 9+1 program. If you have your own bib for the half from another source and would like to run for NBTS, please email endurance@braintumor.org.

NBTS is evaluating applications based on applicants who have a connection and/or passion to further the NBTS mission, the ability to meet and exceed the $1,200 fundraising commitment for runners obtaining a bib through NBTS, and the ability to safely train for the half marathon.

As a runner, you will receive:

• Official race entry to the 2026 United Airlines NYC Half as part of the National Brain Tumor Society’s Gray Nation Endurance Team®
• A personal fundraising page and fundraising tools
• Communication from NBTS staff throughout your race experience 
• Gray Nation Endurance team swag
