Run for NMDP
The United Airlines NYC Half returns to the streets of New York City on Sunday, March 16, 2025. The 13.1-mile half marathon journey begins in Brooklyn, goes over the Manhattan Bridge, heads north on FDR Drive, zips through Times Square (only 1 of 2 times it is closed each year!), and finishes in Central Park.
We invite you to participate and fundraise on behalf of NMDPSM, an official charity partner of the United Airlines NYC Half.
Every dollar you raise:
Adds more potential blood stem cell donors to the NMDP RegistrySM.
Provides grants for patients facing financial barriers to transplant.
Funds critical research that will save lives and help patients thrive.
