RUN the brooklyn half marathon with ISMP!
APRIL 26, 2026
Overview:
ISMP is proud to be an official partner of the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon! This incredible race boasts over 24,000 finishers and will take runners on a journey through Brooklyn’s historic neighborhoods, finishing right in Prospect Park. ISMP’s roots in Brooklyn go back to our inception in January 2016 and we are thrilled to be a part of this essential Brooklyn event! Everyone who runs with ISMP will create opportunities for kids in vulnerable communities in NYC and around the world through participation in sports (and music!) programming.
How it Works:
As an official charity partner of the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon, ISMP can provide runners with charity partner codes, which provide free race entry rather than the standard $150 registration fee. All runners who fundraise for ISMP must commit to raising at least $1,000 as an official charity runner.
In addition to the free race entry, runners who fundraise for ISMP will receive some ISMP merch/SWAG, information on ISMP programming and fundraising tips, a beginner 12 week half marathon training plan, and a running playlist brought to you by the ISMP core team.
How to Sign Up:
Runners will need to create an account with NYCRUNS and with Run This One, the platform used to create fundraising pages. The email used should be the same to link your RTO and NYCRUNS accounts. If you already have a NYCRUNS account, please make sure to use that email when setting up your Run This One Page.
The first step is to create a profile directly on Run This One (RTO). Once you register here, navigate to the Cause Partners and under the International Sports and Music Project, select "Create Individual Fundraising Page." If you don't see this right away, you can refresh the browser page or click into our logo then back to the previous page.
On your page, you’ll be able to upload a photo of yourself and write a short paragraph sharing your story and why you are fundraising for ISMP - we encourage you to be authentic here and let your passion shine through! Once the fundraising page is set up, you will have a link that you can share over email, social media, etc.
When your fundraising page is set up, you will still need to register for the race itself. Please reach out to eric@ismproject.org or jason@ismproject.org when your fundraising page is complete to receive a discount code to enter on checkout of the race registration page. Make sure to enter the information around shirt size and bib pickup when registering!
Thank you for considering making ISMP part of your half marathon journey - we hope to see you on the streets of Brooklyn with us on April 26, 2026!
