Hi, I’m Martin, runner, creator of On Saturdays Run Club, and someone who deeply believes in the power of community through movement.

I’m running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon with Team for Kids to give back through something that has truly changed my life: running. What began as a personal challenge became a source of connection, purpose, and belonging through the community I’ve built and the people I’ve met along the way.

By supporting Team for Kids, your donation goes directly to New York Road Runners youth and community programs that provide free access to running, fitness, and mentorship for thousands of young people. These programs help kids stay active, build confidence, and discover their own strength through movement.

I’ve committed to raising $4,000 to support these initiatives, and every dollar goes directly to NYRR to help keep these programs free and accessible for the next generation.

If you’d like to follow my training and marathon journey along the way, I’ll be sharing updates, milestones, and race day preparation on Instagram at @martinsalomonjr.

Thank you for supporting this journey and for helping empower the next generation through movement and community. 

Every contribution truly makes a difference.
