Put your logoon 26.2 milesof New York.
I'm Dave Stark, host of The Athletes Podcast. I'm running New York to raise $10,000 for Blood Cancer United, and selling 19 spots on my white race shirt and body. Every dollar goes to the charity, with a tax receipt.
Why sponsor
Your brand on the course. Every dollar to the cure.
You give on my Blood Cancer United fundraising page, and the charity emails your receipt. Your logo runs all five boroughs, and the podcast thanks you before and after the race.
Seen on the street
About a million spectators line the course from Staten Island to Central Park, and your logo is in every race photo.
Heard on the podcast
A month of build-up on The Athletes Podcast, then a thank-you episode that names every sponsor.
Seen online
Race-week stories, live posts from the course and a recap on every channel.

How it works
- Claim a spotEmail me the spot you want. First come, first served.
- DonateGive the tier amount on my fundraising page. The charity emails your tax receipt.
- Send your logoA high-res PNG or SVG by Friday, Oct 23, so the shirt prints and tattoos are ready.
- Race dayYour logo runs 26.2 miles, and you get race-day photos and a podcast shout-out.
All sponsorship money is donated to Blood Cancer United through my personal fundraising page. Placement is approximate. Shirt logos are heat-transfer prints on a white tee, and skin logos are temporary tattoos. Travel partnerships cover trip costs directly and aren't donations.
Let's run
New York.
