Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity
Join The Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity Team for the 2010 ING New York Marathon
We need to raise £50 million every year to help rebuild and refurbish Great Ormond Street Hospital, buy vital equipment and fund pioneering research. Amazing things happen at Great Ormond Street Hospital every day. Join our team and with your help we can keep the magic alive for our very ill children and their families.
Why run the New York Marathon?
The New York marathon is an experience not to be missed. It really is a complete marathon and a classic course through the five New York boroughs.
- Cross the impressive Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at the start
- Cross the Queensboro Bridge at 15 miles
- Enjoy sensational views of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings
- Experience an incredible lift from the crowds when you enter Manhattan
