The Big Apple Build Up - Virtual 5K

The Big Apple Build Up: A Virtual 5K with Purpose 🍎

Morgan and Andrea are chasing a dream that once lived quietly in their “someday” column: running the 2026 New York City Marathon as charity runners. The Big Apple Build Up is more than a race. It is a stepping stone, a rally cry, and an invitation.

This virtual 5K is open to everyone. Whether you are a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or someone who prefers paddling across still water or hiking beneath tall pines, you are part of this story. During the week of April 26th, complete your 5K wherever you are, however you choose. Run it. Walk it. Swim it. Skip it. Paddle it. Hike it. The only requirement is forward motion and a willingness to be part of something bigger.

This event is helping Morgan and Andrea fulfill their commitment as charity runners for the 2026 New York City Marathon on November 1st. Every mile completed and every dollar raised brings them one step closer to the starting line in the greatest city in the world, and supports a cause deeply meaningful to them.

Make it joyful. Make it memorable. Invite your friends. Bring your family. Welcome strangers who may become friends along the way. Take photos. Share your journey. Celebrate your movement.

Because the road to the Big Apple is not built in a single stride. It is built together.

Join us. Move with us. Help build the dream. 🍎
