The Brave Like Gabe Foundation is honored to be an Official Charity Partner for Grandma's Marathon in 2025. We will have a limited number of guaranteed marathon, half marathon, and 5K entries to offer to runners who commit to raising funds on behalf of the Brave Like Gabe Foundation for rare cancer research. If you have already secured a 2025 Grandma's Marathon, Half Marathon, or 5K bib entry, you can still participate and fundraise for Team BLG—we just ask that you still complete an application so we can meet you!

Deadline to apply for a spot on Team Brave Like Gabe is Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at 11:59 PM CT

Charity runners commit to fundraising a minimum amount prior to race weekend, as outlined below:

The fundraising goal must be reached prior to the date agreed upon between the organization and participant. If the minimum fundraising amount is not met, the remaining balance will be charged to the participant or the entry may be inactivated.

• Brave Like Gabe merchandise & Brooks Running sponsored gear

• Dedicated staff to help you reach your fundraising goals

• Invitation to virtual team pep talks, group chat, and in-person gathering on race weekend

• Additional perks for fundraisers who surpass their goal

Special thanks to Brooks Running for partnering with our charity bib program.
