A marathon like no other with its superb route through the five boroughs of New York City, unmatched 2-million spectators lining the route to cheer you along and its finish in the most famous green in the world, Central Park.

Quite simply, words can only begin to describe just how awesome this event is and we would love to have you with us this Fall.

This is what you'll get in return for your support:

• Official bus or ferry to the start of the New York City Marathon (NYCM)
• NYCM finishers medal & commemorative t-shirt (only if you finish!)
• Entry in the Continental Airlines International Friendship Run including souvenir t-shirt (06/11/10)

• Team CF newsletters and regular e-newsletters
• Support from sign up to marathon day including post-run in New York City

We don't set a fundraising target, we just ask you to raise as much as you can to support over 8,500 youngsters affected by Cystic Fibrosis in the UK and over 100,000 worldwide through our research and support services.

If you do raise over £1500 you could claim back up to £600 to help cover the cost of your trip and if you raise over £2,000, you can claim back up to £800 through our reimbursement scheme.

This is sure to be one of the most fantastic things you could ever do, so hit the Need more info? and we'll send you details.

It is not possible for any non-USA resident to get a 'place only' in the marathon, unless you are very lucky and get one through the New York Road Runners ballot which is closed for 2010. If you did get your Own Place please use it to run with Team CF!
