For the second year in a row, PACT was proud to be an official charity partner of the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon.
On Sunday, November 1st, 2026, six dedicated runners on Team PACT – Jack Dunphy, Bridget Kane, Brian Leone, Mischa Rothko, Cesar Rufo, and Stephanie Ryba – took on 26.2 miles, joining more than 61,000 runners in the largest marathon in history. This year’s race was especially meaningful because it celebrated the 50th anniversary of the five-borough course!
From the starting line on Staten Island to the finish line in Central Park, Team PACT put in months of training and dedication to support PACT’s mission of protecting children from trafficking and exploitation.
In the days leading up to the race, we were grateful to welcome some of the runners at the office for a meet-and-greet. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect before race day, celebrate their dedication, and share in the excitement of the marathon ahead.
On race day, we gathered with handmade posters to cheer on Team PACT. We were thrilled to catch sight of some of the runners along the course and cheer them on as they made their way through the five boroughs. It was a special moment to celebrate their hard work and be part of this historic race together.
We are proud to share that all six runners completed the race and met their fundraising goals! Together, they raised over $27,000 to support protecting every child from sexual exploitation and trafficking.
