We are proud to be an official charity partner of the New York Road Runners (NYRR) and are grateful for your support. On November 1, 2026, Team POLG Foundation will take on the streets of New York City as they run 26.2 miles, raising funds to advance scientific research, accelerate the development of treatments, and help find a cure for POLG disease.

Our runners come from across the world, united by a shared commitment to advancing research, and creating hope for those impacted by POLG disease. Many members of Team POLG have personal connections to the POLG community, as patients, family members, caregivers, friends, or advocates, and are running to make a difference. Every mile they run and every dollar they raise helps fuel The POLG Foundation’s mission to advance research, improve understanding of POLG disease, and bring us closer to effective treatments and a cure. You can make an impact by supporting one of our runners and helping us create a brighter future for everyone affected by POLG disease.

Join us on November 1, 2026, to cheer on Team POLG Foundation as they take on the world’s largest marathon and run for hope, progress, and a future free from POLG disease.
