Why Run For RDS?

All funds raised by the Research Down Syndrome Half Marathon Team will directly benefit RDS and the Down syndrome community by being directed towards scientific research that is aimed at understanding and treating the learning difficulties associated with Down syndrome. Donations pledged to your marathon miles will assist the research efforts that will lead to improved educational and employment opportunities, and perhaps independent living, for individuals with Down syndrome. Learn more about the RDS Runners Program.

Donation Goals

By Joining Team RDS and obtaining a guaranteed race entry, our charity athletes are committed to raising at least $1000 in donations to RDS. This payment is due no later than 1 week before the race, or March 11th. We encourage all charity runners to set fundraising goals above this minimum. We will help you set up a personalized page to assist your fundraising.

Payment Information

All Charity runners must guarantee the $1000 fundraising minimum with a credit card. The full $1000 donation minimum must be met by March 11th, 2012 - one week before the race. The amount your card will be charged will equal $1000 less the amount raised. If a runner cannot participate in the event for any reason, the full amount of $1000 is still due to Research Down Syndrome. Each runner is responsible for paying the race entry fee charged by NYRR for the NYC Half marathon. The amount is a $5 processing fee plus $117 entry fee (NYRR members), or $128 (for all non NYRR members or international runners). This fee will be collected directly by NYRR and does not count towards your fundraising minimum.
