The Marathon for a Better Life is embarking on its 30th year in existence where we help, both financially and spiritually, those Schoharie County residents who have been stricken with cancer.

We are in the midst of planning many new and different events this year which will culminate with our annual event on Saturday June 13, 2026.  Our first event will be a holiday raffle of a playhouse (7’ long x 8” wide x 8.5’) tall that was constructed by a very talented “angel among us”.  Tickets are only $30 for one or 2 for $50. The winning ticket will be drawn on December 3rd.

WHAT A GREAT GIFT for a child or grandchild in your life.  

Tickets can be purchased online at marathonforabetterlife.org/raffle-playhouse.html or from a board member of the Marathon.  All proceeds of this raffle will go to The Marathon for a Better Life and ultimately to a Schoharie County Resident who has been afflicted with cancer.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and via our websites for our many events we are planning for this year.
