Citizens also to serve as first-ever title sponsor of Queens 10K

Citizens has become the Official Bank of the New York Road Runners (NYRR), the world’s premiere community running organization, and the TCS New York City Marathon, the world’s largest marathon, through a five-year Foundation Level partnership. As part of the agreement, Citizens will also serve as the first-ever title sponsor of the Queens 10K, an event that attracts more than 10,000 runners every June and is NYRR’s staple race in the city’s most diverse borough.

“Citizens is committed to helping New York City neighborhoods reach their potential,” said Bruce Van Saun, Chairman and CEO, Citizens. “We are honored to partner with NYRR to celebrate the resilience and spirit of the runners and their fans and create positive impact for the City on marathon Sunday and throughout the year.”

“New York Road Runners is thrilled to bring Citizens on board as a Foundation Level partner and the first-ever title sponsor of our Queens 10K, a runner favorite in the five boroughs,” said Rob Simmelkjaer, CEO of New York Road Runners. “As we come together with a shared passion for the neighborhoods we serve, we look forward to working with Citizens to bring impactful events and experiences to the diverse communities that make up New York City.”

The TCS New York City Marathon is the world’s largest marathon with more than 50,000 runners, and Citizens signage will be visible along the marathon course route and throughout the city leading up to and on November 5. The newly named Citizens Queens 10K will serve as the perfect annual kick-off for runners to begin their fall marathon training, taking participants on a fast, flat course through the famous Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the third race of NYRR’s five-borough series.

Citizens entered the New York City metro market in 2022 through the acquisition of HSBC’s east coast branches and New Jersey-based Investors Bank. With more than 200 branches in greater New York City, Long Island and throughout New Jersey, the bank is committed to understanding and supporting the neighborhoods it serves.

In 2022, Citizens became the Official Bank of the New York Giants, New Jersey Devils, and Prudential Center and over the past year and half have built partnerships with several community organizations across the city to advocate for and support small business growth and workforce development.

Citizens in May partnered with Education Design Lab to expand its Community College Growth Engine to benefit four CUNY Community Colleges – LaGuardia, Borough of Manhattan, Kingsborough and Queensborough, sponsored the Queens Night Market and the Chinatown Night Market throughout the summer, in August expanded its partnership with Pursuit to transition their tech training program from virtual to hybrid and partnered with the New York Restoration Project to host Backpacks and Blockbusters, a free movie and school supply giveaway series throughout New York City from August through October.
