There will be two bags as a part of this raffle this time. The first name selected will get first choice and the second name selected will receive the second bag.Each of the tote bags are constructed in Brooklyn using up-cycled post-race ponchos distributed to finishers in Central Park as they complete the TCS New York City Marathon hosted by NYRR. The bag has one external pocket and measures approximately 17.5”(h) x 14.0”(w) x 5.5”(d).The orange tote bag is made using the poncho distributed at the 2023 NYC Marathon.The blue tote bag bag is made using the poncho distributed at the previous NYC Marathons.
The TCS New York City Marathon hosted by New York Road Runners, is the largest marathon in the world with over 50,000 participants. Every year tens of thousands of finishers receive a beautiful post-race poncho as they make their way out of Central Park. These often get folded up and tucked into drawers and closets just to be forgotten about. Transforming it into a tote bag gives marathoners a small everyday reminder of a huge accomplishment they worked so hard to achieve.
Tickets for the raffle can be purchased in bundles on $5, $10 or $20 bundles.
