Please share a bit more about why you'd like to represent Team Active Minds:

Fundraising Requirement

All participants must fulfill a fundraising requirement by one week after the event. 50% of this commitment will be due by the end of August 2026. Your credit card information will be required to secure your entry. If accepted, Team Active Minds runners are responsible for paying a registration fee to secure their entry. In exchange for this guaranteed entry, you agree to raising a minimum of the amount listed above.

We provide this information for transparency and understanding ahead of registration. Fundraising commitments will begin upon registration.

Full marathon entry minimum: $1,500
Half marathon entry minimum: $1,000
8K entry minimum: $400

A $50 registration fee will be due today to secure your spot within our entry allocation. We do not oversell, so your registration secures your bib and guarantees entry!

I will pledge to raise the minimum fundraising commitment associated with my race of choice.

What is your fundraising goal?

How do you plan to reach your fundraising goal? Please include as much information as possible about your fundraising plan.

You have your own entry

By submitting your application to Team Active Minds you are confirming you have secured your own entry to the 2026 Philadelphia Marathon Weekend of events and will not be eligible to earn or receive guaranteed entry or a bib.

You are only applying to setup a fundraising page to make your miles matter with this race and highlight your commitment to the mental health movement. You'll earn some great race gear and team swag along the way and be part of our Team Active Minds community! There is NO cost to participate as you have your own entry, but we encourage you to set a fundraising goal that can make a difference in this effort.

I understand I am only applying to setup a fundraising page and to join Team Active Minds. I will not not receive entry to this race from Active Minds.
