Marathons & Challenge Events
How’d you like to push yourself physically and mentally, all while making a powerful difference for the trans community?
Whether you’re lacing up for a marathon, hiking a mountain, or taking on your first 5K, you can fundraise as a Team Point of Pride athlete and help expand access to life-saving gender-affirming care.
We welcome athletes of all levels, all year long. Choose how you want to get involved:
Join a charity team
Point of Pride is a proud charity partner of the TCS New York City Marathon—and we're working on expanding to other major races later this year. Running on an official Team Point of Pride charity team means:
- Guaranteed race entry (no lottery required!)
- Personalized fundraising page and support
- Custom race-day merch
- A chance to train and race alongside other trans and allied athletes
- The knowledge that every mile you run brings life-saving care to someone in need
Run your own race, your way
Not in NYC or not ready for a full marathon? You can still make an impact. Run your own race and represent Team Point of Pride from wherever you are: a 5K, half marathon, triathlon, hiking trek, or something else!
Just email us at marathon@pointofpride.org and we'll help you:
- Set up a custom fundraising page on Haku or your preferred platform
- Share your story and amplify your impact across our community
- Get access to Point of Pride toolkits to help promote your campaign and fundraising efforts
