New York Road Runners (NYRR) and Dunkin’ have renewed their partnership for the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon, through which Dunkin’ will continue to serve as the Official Coffee and Espresso Retailer of the TCS New York City Marathon, the world’s largest marathon featuring over 50,000 runners. Dunkin’ is a long-time partner of NYRR, with this renewal marking 12 years of collaboration.

“Our partnership with Dunkin’ has consistently enhanced our runners’ experiences, and we are thrilled to be working with them again for the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon,” said Sarah Cummins, NYRR’s Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships. “Dunkin’s commitment to achieving the extraordinary identifies with our core value of excellence at NYRR and ensures that all of their activations are on par with the high standard we hold for this world-class event.”

Since 2006 Dunkin’ has partnered with NYRR, annually sponsoring the organization’s premier event. The partnership allows Dunkin’ to provide its iconic orange and pink co-branded fleece beanie hats to runners at the TCS New York City Marathon Start Village, as well as material for the TCS New York City Marathon virtual goody bag. Throughout Marathon race week and race day, Dunkin’ will provide 73,000 servings of coffee.

“We are honored to continue our longstanding partnership with New York Road Runners and return to the Start Village at the TCS New York City Marathon for our 12th year,” said Cathy Chavenet, Integrated Marketing Director, Metro New York at Dunkin’ Brands. “Dunkin’ keeps on-the-go New Yorkers running every day, and what better way to bring that to life than by helping Marathon runners to gear up with our coffee and beanie hats.”
