For more than fifty years, the TCS New York City Marathon has been one of the most iconic and largest marathons on the planet – boasting over 50,000 finishers annually. Since 2017, the PGA of America REACH Foundation has teamed up with the New York Road Runners to welcome a group of dedicated PGA of America Golf Professionals to raise support and awareness for the Foundation's mission by running the race of a lifetime.
"There were many 'why's' behind choosing to Run For REACH. I want to be remembered as a PGA of America Member who was always available when called upon. I want to know without a doubt that I have given everything my heart and body have to give and that I left nothing in the tank. I wanted to be an example for those who want or need to make a hard life choice and don’t know that they can be successful. My hope is that by finishing this race and standing with my shoulders back and a smile on my face 26.2 miles later, that at least one person will reframe the question in their mind and ask – 'Why not?'"
