32nd Annual Race To Deliver: Laced Up for Love!

7,000 participants. Four miles. One heart!

Thank you to everyone who joined us at this year’s Race to Deliver for unforgettable morning in Central Park! More than 7,000 runners, walkers, and rollers came together with joyful energy and enormous generosity, all to support our mission of feeding and nourishing New Yorkers living with cardiovascular disease, cancer, HIV, Alzheimer’s disease, and other severe illnesses.

This year’s Race felt especially meaningful as we celebrate our 40th Anniversary. For four decades, God’s Love We Deliver has moved with urgency to get medically tailored meals to those who need us most. Being sick and hungry is a crisis that requires immediate action, thank you for all your support on and off the race course!

A heartfelt thank you to our mission-focused partners at New York Road Runners, ADP, Gibson Dunn, Ralph Lauren Corporate Foundation, and the M·A·C VIVA GLAM Fund; our dedicated teams; and every participant and cheerer who made the morning shine. We are truly grateful for your unwavering dedication to all those we serve.

As we head into the holiday season, we invite you to continue sharing the Race to Deliver spirit. Every $10 funds one medically tailored meal for a New Yorker living with severe illness, and together we’re working toward our goal of funding 40,000 meals through the Race. And there’s an extra-sweet incentive! The top 10 individual fundraisers (as of noon on December 1, 2025) will receive a PieCaken delivered straight to their door, compliments of Culinary Council member Zac Young. This legendary dessert layers pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and spice cake with cinnamon buttercream, all topped with apple pie filling. It’s every bit as amazing as it sounds.

If you’d like to make an additional gift, or support a runner or team, you can continue contributing to the Race to Deliver through the end of the year.

Thank you again for being part of this year’s Race and for standing with us during our milestone 40th Anniversary. We can’t wait to see you at future God’s Love events as we continue to nourish our neighbors, together!
