On Sunday, tens of thousands of runners from nearly 200 countries took to the streets of New York for the world’s most popular marathon. Among them, nearly 100 were running for something even greater — New Yorkers in need.
Robin Hood had a team of 100 runners who trained for months and ran the 26.2 miles to raise money. To date, Race for Robin Hood has raised over $6 million dollars with 100 percent of every dollar raised going to our relentless fight against poverty.
Meet four members of Team Robin Hood:
Naureen Malik, an energy reporter for Bloomberg News and 10-time Team Robin Hood member. “I thought running a marathon would be a once-in-a-lifetime event to cross off my bucket list. But Robin Hood has turned grueling months of training into a normal state of affairs year after year.”

Ashlee Vargas, a junior at CUNY studying advertising and public relations and former Robin Hood intern. “I appreciate all the love and support, help us fight poverty like a true New Yorker!”
