New York Road Runners will again make the NYRR Champion’s Circle Program one of its charity partners for this year’s ING New York City Marathon.

The Champion’s Circle consists of individuals who have agreed to raise at least $2500 in exchange for entry into the race (plus a few other cool perks). NYRR raised in excess of $170,000 via this program last year.

The New York Road Runners Champion’s Circle is an initiative by NYRR to support U.S. post-collegiate and Olympic Development training groups around the country.

Your $2500 donation is directed to fund long-term development of professional USA distance runners to prepare them to compete successfully in domestic and international competition.

This donation entitles you to guaranteed entry into the ING New York City Marathon 2008.
