The OC Marathon  will have 20 Charity Partners in 2011. Each Charity Partner is carefully screened and is active in recruiting volunteers and participants to support our event.  In the last six years, the OC Marathon events collectively have helped generate more than $2 million for Orange County charities. We are proud of our association with these organizations and look forward to continuing partnerships that benefit the citizens of the OC.  We appreciate the volunteers they provide throughout event weekend. They work the Health & Fitness Expo, Kids Run the OC and provide on course support at water stations, as course marshals, at the Start and Finish lines, and in the Post Food & Fuel area. Their volunteers are out their race weekend serve you and cheer you on to your PR. You can support them by fundraising for them. Charity contact  information and how to fundraise for them, as well as applications to become a 2011 Charity Partner can be found on our Charities Page.
