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, Skylar Hahn 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 Skylar:
Having spent my entire professional career in affordable housing, I have developed an understanding of both the magnitude of the housing crisis and the critical role strong support systems play in ensuring long-term housing stability. Breaking Ground addresses homelessness with a compassionate, individualized approach, providing services tailored to each client's needs. Through its continuum of programs, Breaking Ground supports over 12,000 New Yorkers annually, and each night, over 6,000 adults and children sleep under a BG roof.
I joined the Friends of Breaking Ground shortly after moving to New York City in 2024 and have had the privilege of witnessing their commitment and impact firsthand. I'm excited to take my involvement a step further and run on behalf of Breaking Ground in the 2026 NYC Marathon. The BG team has never backed away from a challenge, and I look forward to channeling that same tenacity throughout training and across all 26.2 miles. With your support, we can help continue providing high-quality, stable housing and change the lives of New Yorkers in need.
