Join the Michael’s Cause team and participate in the 2025 NYC Marathon, scheduled for Sunday, November 2, 2025. Michael’s Cause is dedicated to raising awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, channeling all funds towards cutting-edge medical and scientific research for improved treatments and a potential cure. Typically, individuals affected by Duchenne experience a loss of the ability to walk between the ages of 8 and 12.

Be a part of our team in 2025 and run in solidarity with those who face challenges in running and walking. This marks the 8th consecutive year that Michael’s Cause proudly sponsors the race. Runners will secure entry into the marathon and receive the NY Road Runners online training program, along with exclusive Michael’s Cause running apparel.

Participants are required to raise $4000 by utilizing social media and other donation platforms. To further support your fundraising endeavors, we will organize a raffle.
