Fundraising Requirement
Each Fred’s Team event has a fundraising minimum that I agree to raise or pay. This minimum ensures that Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) keeps the Fred’s Team program costs low to maintain credibility to all of their donors and, most importantly, maximize the funds invested in cancer research. In order to secure my spot with Fred’s Team, I agree to pay a nonrefundable $125 kickoff fee. This fee will be counted as a charitable donation toward my overall fundraising requirement. I am also responsible for a separate race registration fee to be paid to New York Road Runners to claim my entry. By accepting this entry provided by Fred’s Team, I agree that all entry fees to MSK and/or New York Road Runners are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
I acknowledge that I am personally responsible for fulfilling the fundraising requirement I selected during registration, including meeting all associated deadlines. I understand that I cannot lower my requirement after registration.
By July 16, 2025, I must reconfirm my commitment to running and fundraising for the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon if contacted by Fred’s Team. If I fail to do so, I understand that my entry may be cancelled and provided to another runner. Per the cancellation policy, I acknowledge that I can withdraw by this date and be waived of the fundraising requirement.
By September 29, 2025, I must fulfill at least half of my $4,500, $6,500, or $8,500 fundraising requirement.
By November 17, 2025, I must fulfill my $4,500, $6,500, or $8,500 fundraising requirement and any remaining balance will be charged to my credit card on or after November 17, 2025.
For Participants Registered with a Team
As a member of a team, I am responsible for my personal fundraising requirement of $4,500, $6,500, or $8,500 and for the fundraising deadlines stated above. I understand that any team gifts will be evenly distributed among all members of the team, including team members who have already fulfilled their individual fundraising commitment.
Entry Acceptance Policy
I understand that my 2025 TCS New York City Marathon entry will be sent to me by New York Road Runners and it is my responsibility to accept this entry from New York Road Runners on behalf of Fred’s Team. I understand that if I do not pay the race registration fee and accept the entry within the Fred’s Team’s deadline, Fred’s Team reserves the right to cancel my entry and provide it to another runner. I agree that any and all donations are non-refundable and non-transferrable to other Fred’s Team runners.
Cancellation Policy
I understand that if I withdraw from the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon, I must notify Fred’s Team before July 16, 2025, to be waived of the $4,500, $6,500, or $8,500 fundraising requirement. Furthermore, I agree that this entry is nontransferable and that any and all donations are nonrefundable and nontransferable to other Fred’s Team runners. If I withdraw after July 16, 2025, I understand that my fundraising requirement cannot be waived, and my credit card will be charged the outstanding balance.
Deferral Policy
I understand that if I withdraw from the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon after July 16, 2025, and would like to defer my entry, I am obligated to notify Fred’s Team by October 27, 2025. I acknowledge that I must raise a minimum of $3,000 in order to defer my entry to the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon. If I do not raise $3,000 by November 17, 2025, any remaining balance will be charged to my credit card. Funds raised are only transferrable to the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon.
For Participants Registered at the Leadership Giving Level
I understand that if I am awarded a Leadership Giving level entry, I am personally responsible for making a onetime $10,000 donation to Fred’s Team within two months of registration. After this deadline, I understand that if I have not made the donation, my entry will be cancelled. Furthermore, I acknowledge that any additional donations will be collected on my Fred’s Team fundraising page, and I agree to the Entry Acceptance Policy, Cancellation Policy, and Deferral Policy.
