The Club at 26.2
Join The Club at 26.2 to benefit Orange County Children’s Charities!
The OC Marathon was conceived to raise money for local children’s charities through a world-class running event focusing on health and wellness, plus the accomplishment that comes from reaching your goals.

In the first three years, The OC Marathon generated nearly $1.2 million for charities through its pledge programs, and gave another $480,000 directly to the charities.

Now, we’d like to do more by offering you a way to do more: Join The Club at 26.2!

Money donated to The Club at 26.2 goes directly to our official race charities. When you become a member of The Club at 26.2, you’ll know your generosity helps charities with which we’ve developed a trusted relationship. We help multiple charities each year with a broad reach in helping Orange County’s kids. Also, your gifts can have greater impact when they’re combined.

Our official charities for the 2008 race are:

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
Make a Wish Orange County & Inland Empire Chapter
Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation
SHORTSTOP—Run to Stop Juvenile Crime
Chapman University School of Education Literacy Programs
