Over five decades ago, The Peregrine Fund helped to restore the critically endangered, Peregrine Falcon. Today, New York City hosts the largest population density of Peregrines on our continent which is why it is fitting that for the fifth year in a row, we will partner with TCS New York City Marathon to honor a strong tradition of excellence and perseverance.

Join us in supporting our incredible team of runners who are putting everything on the line to support education and raptor conservation worldwide. Help our runners set, meet, and exceed their goals in support of raptor conservation. Each of our team members has committed to raising a minimum of $3,500 for global raptor conservation. All of your donations applied via this fundraising site will go directly to The Peregrine Fund's mission and all donations are 100% tax deductible.

Headquartered in Boise, Idaho with programs on five continents, The Peregrine Fund is the world leader in conserving birds of prey. As a catalyst for change, we inspire people to value raptors and take action, while investing in tomorrow's conservation leaders. Support for our work comes from individual donors like you, corporations, foundations, and government grants. Please consider donating today. #RunForRaptors

I am hoping to give back to all the raptors who have helped control the mice and voles in my apple orchard. The Barred Owl is my favorite bird of prey, for both its insatiable appetite and spooky hoot.

Hi there! I’m Stacie, and I’m thrilled to be running the New York City Marathon to support The Peregrine Fund. As someone who has always had a deep love for birds, I find joy in every feathered friend I encounter. I’m lucky enough to have a Bald Eagle that nests near my home, and I make it a point to say hi to it during my runs. It’s a little ritual that reminds me of the beauty of nature and the importance of protecting it.

Growing up and for my entire adult life, all my favorite moments have been spent outside. As a lover of long runs and nature, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to Run with the Raptors in the 2025 NYC Marathon supporting conservation and protecting birds of prey.

As the daughter of a career-long Peregrine Fund employee, this organization gave me experiences that would shape my love of the outdoors and dreams of becoming a conservationist. Today, I am thrilled to be giving back, as I run the NYC Marathon to raise money for The Peregrine Fund, an organization that not only works to conserve raptor species but has inspired a love of nature in me and countless others across the globe.
