2026 Charity Teams

In addition to the organizations listed above, we’ve also partnered with four other charities that runners can join as part of a charity team. Running for a cause is a powerful way to create change and inspire others. We’re proud to partner with these tremendous organizations as a way to lace up for a cause and make a meaningful impact together.

The T.J. Martell Foundation aims to cure cancer by bringing the music community together to fund high-risk, high-reward research that could lead to trailblazing advancements in early detection, screening, and treatments. Our investments in early cancer research play a critical role in developing the “proof of concept” necessary to unlock more significant National Institutes of Health grants needed to pursue clinical trials, new treatments, and cures for cancer.

Founded in 1995 as the only nonprofit to focus on all lymphomas, the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s mission is to realize the promise of science to eradicate lymphoma and serve the community touched by this disease. The Foundation has since awarded more than $80 million in lymphoma-specific research since inception, serving over 2 million people, all while fostering a community and raising awareness.

Girls on the Run is a proud charity partner of the 2026 Hamptons Marathon & Half. Launched in 2024 by Hamptons Marathon Founders Diane Weinberger and Amanda Moszkowski, GOTR is a non-profit afterschool program focusing on girl empowerment.

GOTR programming combines running with life skills for 3rd through 5th-grade girls in the critical years before girls’ overall physical activity and confidence levels decline. We inspire girls to be healthy and confident over a 10-week program that culminates in a celebratory 5K. As marathoners, we know how crossing the finish line changes you—that pride, that feeling of invincibility lasts forever. At GOTR Miami, we are preparing girls to face whatever challenges they encounter, knowing how to summon their inner strength.
