The Los Angeles Marathon Nonprofit Partnership program is an opportunity for nonprofits to utilize the Los Angeles Marathon, Charity Challenge Half Marathon and LA Big 5K as a platform for creating awareness about their mission and raising needed funds for their organization. 

It is also much more than that.  Running or walking a marathon, half marathon or 5K is a memorable journey that can be so much more impactful when doing it for a charity.  Our nonprofit partners provide a purpose for people to cross the finish line -- for the first time or their 50th -- and make a direct impact on people’s lives.

Joining the Nonprofit Partnership Program allows you to be a part of a community of nonprofits who have come together to make a difference in a fun, healthy and supportive way.  Working together, our partners make this program a success for not only their organizations, but the people participating in the events and standing on the side cheering them on.  

Our partners raised over $2.5M for their causes in 2022 and over $62M in the history of the program.
