Like The New York Road Runners, Girl Scouts of Greater New York aims to create healthier, happier, more confident communities across the five boroughs and beyond. Funds raised will support our Girl Scout community and invest in the future of New York City Girl Scouts!
The TCS NYC Marathon takes place each year on the first Sunday of November. This year it is on November 3, 2024. To learn more, visit tcsnycmarathon.org.
Please meet our two fantastic runners and fundraisers, Melissa Bien and Hannah Gould, and help them reach their goals!
“I am SO EXCITED to announce my official marathon debut running the TCS New York City Marathon for Girl Scouts of Greater New York! We have many, many miles to run over this marathon training block and I am honored to do so on behalf of GSGNY.
On behalf of Girl Scouts of Greater New York, thank you for contributing to Team Girl Scouts NYC, an official charity partner of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon. Your gift will help over 25,000 girls we serve to take advantage of unique character-building and leadership programs only available through the Girl Scouts."

“I decided that in honor of turning 50 this year, I wanted to do something momentous, and what could be more fun than the iconic NYC marathon? And what better charity to run for than the Girl Scouts? I was a Girl Scout for many years as a kid and am very proud of the project I did to complete the Silver Award—organizing a blood drive in my community. I used to spend hours perusing the lists of badges, and they always seemed like the door to new information and adventures.
Fast forward, and now my daughter has been a Girl Scout in Troop 4482 in Jackson Heights, Queens since she was in kindergarten (5 years!), and I've loved supporting her and her troop over the years. I've been running for years and while I've done many shorter races, this will be my first marathon. I'm really in it for the adventure (aka, not going fast!) and the challenge. I appreciate your support of me and Team Girl Scouts NYC, an official charity partner of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon!”
