2016 TCS New York City Marathon Oxfam’s Charity Place Terms & Conditions The TCS New York City Marathon is an important fundraising, brand raising and constituency building event for Oxfam. We need all our Charity Place runners to raise at least $3,250 over the course of their Marathon journey. The following terms and conditions have been written to ensure Oxfam can support its runners in the best possible way, while at the same time raise as much as possible for its work to right the wrongs of poverty, hunger, and injustice.

As one of our official Charity Place runners, you can expect the following from Oxfam: 1. Once you have applied for an Oxfam Charity Place, your application will be assessed by the Oxfam Running Team. You will be informed of the outcome of your application by telephone or email as soon as possible, but within seven (7) business days. Filling out the Charity Place application does NOT guarantee you a place. 2. Once you have been offered a place and agree to the fundraising pledge ($3,250), and create a fundraising page on Crowdrise,* Oxfam will reserve one of its 2016 NYC Marathon Charity Places for you.
