New York Marathon

Sunday 6 November 2011 - (to be confirmed)

To enter the New York Marathon, with over 40,000 runners and known to be one of the most prestigious events in the international running calendar – has to be an experience not to be missed!  Traditionally, it is held on the first Sunday in November so -  therefore it is expected to take place on November 6th 2011.

Starting on Staten Island, this world famous run takes you through five iconic boroughs, over five bridges and finishes in Central Park.  New York really gets into the party spirit with good luck banners on every shop window, bar and restaurant.

 

Autistica is teaming up with two top operators: Sports Tours International and 2:09 to provide the best running package for you!

So if you want the experience of a lifetime – choose from one of these three options:

• Level 1: a flight and entry package only;
• Level 2: accommodation and entry package;
• Level 3: the full package (flight, entry package and accommodation)

There is no fundraising target!  However, to help you towards meeting your expenses, we will refund some of your costs:  if you raise £2,000, you will be eligible for a refund of both your flight and entry fee (approx. £850).
