It is our mission at First Flight Alliance to inspire first steps that grow stronger, healthier communities!  We do this by leading running camps,  hosting family friendly race events, educating our youth on making healthy choices, and by providing scholarships to children in our community to be active. Much of this is made possible with the help of our fundraising teams.  Our teams are community ambassadors who have accepted the challenge of running a marathon or half-marathon while fundraising for our programs.  

NYC Marathon

#RunthistownBIGAPPLE ambassadors will raise a minimum of $3500.00 each and will commit to 20 weeks of marathon training. Both will be a challenge AND a top life experience!  The team will begin training on July 6 and will run the 5 Burroughs of NYC on November 3, 2024.  Our goal for our NYC Marathon Team is $17,500.
