New York City Half Marathon

Register now for this exciting SOLD OUT event by joining ZERO's DASH FOR DAD Endurance Team! ZERO has 15 guaranteed spots at the NYC Half Marathon set for March 18, 2012. The NYC Half-Marathon is a 13.1 mile course that runs through the heart of New York City including world-famous Times Square.

Each year, more than 11,000 runners take the challenge and participate in the NYC Half-Marathon. Please join our DASH FOR DAD team for this event on Sunday, March 18, 2012 and conquer this challenge while raising money to fight prostate cancer. Our fundraising minimum is $1,000.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of male cancer death, killing a man every 18 minutes. Yet, there is hope: 99 percent survive when it's caught early. Proceeds raised by the DASH FOR DAD Endurance Team will support ZERO — The Project to End Prostate Cancer and its mission to end prostate cancer through awareness, outreach, advocacy and research. ZERO operates the Drive Against Prostate Cancer—the only national mobile testing program for the disease. Since the Drive began in 2002, we have tested more than 100,000 men and saved an estimated 11,000 lives through early detection. ZERO has also worked to infuse more than $2 billion of new federal funding for prostate cancer research to find a cure.
