What is the minimum fundraising requirement?
The New York City Half Marathon Event Organizers require charities to set a $1,000 minimum fundraising requirement for all runners.
With this in mind, in exchange for one of OAR’s extremely limited guaranteed entries for this event, runners must agree to raise a minimum of $1,000 in charitable donations for OAR. Complete details can be found on the NYC Fundraising Agreement Form (Email run@researchautism.org to request the form).
How do I join the RUN FOR AUTISM-NYC Team?
At this time the OAR NYC Half Marathon team is full and does not have any more available entries.
If you received entrance to the event through the lottery, you can join the OAR team by signing up by creating a fundraising website at www.firstgiving.com/oar, select “Get Started” then “Register Online Now” and select "iRUN For Autism-America" from the list of events. Do not select the NYC Half Marathon option.
If I received a guaranteed entry, when do I pay for my race entry?
In the first week of February 2010, OAR will email you an official invitation from the race organizers. You may then accept the invite and pay the organizers directly for your race entry fee ($79 for NYRR members; $90 for NYRR non-members).
I forgot to set up my fundraising page during sign up. What should I do?
You will need the registration code Firstgiving emailed to you upon registration. In the event you cannot locate this or remember your password, please email support@firstgiving.com.
Next, return to www.firstgiving.com/oar. Select "Create a Fundraising Page" and click on the NYC Half Marathon category. Enter the code, select your URL, and design your page from there.
I can't run in this year's half marathon anymore! Can I get my money back?
OAR has a no refund policy and race entries are non-transferable for any reason, including injury. However, Team Members who raise over $1,000 this year will receive a complimentary entry to either the 2011 Chicago or Marine Corps Marathon/10K.
