We are thrilled to announce a special charity plate in support of the 26.2 Foundation. The funds raised from the sale of these plates will directly support the development of the International Marathon Center (IMC) in Hopkinton, MA. Through its dynamic cultural and educational programs, state-of-the-art facilities, and interactive exhibitions, the International Marathon Center aims to build and celebrate community in unique and meaningful ways. It will be the first institution dedicated to preserving and advancing the significant contributions of marathons globally, and, most importantly, it will tell the story of the power of the human spirit.

By purchasing a 26.2 charity plate, you contribute to the realization of this vision, inspiring future generations to rise to the marathon challenge.
