The Los Angeles Marathon Nonprofit Partnership Program is an opportunity for nonprofits to utilize the Los Angeles Marathon, Charity Half Marathon, and LA Big 5K as a platform to create awareness about their mission and raise 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 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 nonprofits to be a part of a community of organizations 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.   

Congratulations to our 80 Nonprofit Partners who raised more than $2.8M (and counting) for their causes in 2023 and over $65M in the history of the program.
