Raising money for charity is an excellent way to make your participation in the Hamptons Marathon an even more meaningful experience, and help keep you running when the running gets tough.
The proceeds of this event will go to benefit Project Most, a charitable organization in East Hampton that provides after school services for children in elementary and middle schools. We are also supporting Southampton Hospital and are fortunate to have members of the hospital staff providing medical support at the race.
Following the 2008 race, the Hamptons Marathon donated $40,000 to these organizations.
We encourage you to make an additional donation or to use this race as an opportunity to raise funds for the charity of your choice.
For 2009, will be partnering with Team in Training and American Cancer Society’s Charity Runner program. These organizations will have a limited number of guaranteed entries.
