Tata Consultancy Services signed an eight-year partnership with the New York Road Runners Club to sponsor the five-borough long-distance run and around-the-year activities connected to it.


“TCS won us over with their commitment to our sport, to making a difference in our communities through running and through their aspirations to help us embrace … technology,” Road Runners’ chief Mary Wittenberg said.
