Introducing Team Shalva in the New York Marathon

This November, Team Shalva made history as the first Israeli running team to participate in the prestigious TCS New York City Marathon.

All sixty-five Shalva runners successfully crossed the finish line, having run a collective 2,472.66 kilometers in support of Shalva's children, adults and families. This year's team included several seasoned marathon runners as well as some first-timers; each bringing their own life story to the track. The runners trained over the course of months prior to the marathon and became ambassadors of Shalva through the awareness and fundraising campaigns that they held in their home communities and among their personal circles of contact. Shalva is already registered as a New York Road Runners charity partner for next year's marathon and we are looking forward to many more runners joining us on the streets of New York City.
