Breaking Ground is proud to be an official charity partner for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon! As a part of Team Breaking Ground, Max Ralby is partnering with Breaking Ground and New York Road Runners to participate in this iconic event and pound the pavement to raise funds in support of our outreach and housing programs in New York City.
A note from Max:
After first hearing about the experience of running the NYC Marathon from my father, I knew it was always a goal of mine to run it one day. The opportunity on its own is already special, but being able to run on behalf of Breaking Ground makes it even more meaningful.
As someone that works in commercial real estate, Breaking Ground’s mission is particularly important to me. Their commitment to providing safe, affordable housing and supportive services to New Yorkers in need is more crucial than ever. Breaking Ground helps individuals not only find housing, but also build stability and opportunity for the future. It is an honor to run on behalf of Breaking Ground, and I hope that through the visibility of the NYC Marathon, we can raise both awareness and support for their important work —one mile at a time.
