Beginning 2014, the race will be called the TCS New York City Marathon and is part of a year-round premier partnership between TCS and NYRR to provide support for the NYRR 5-Borough Series and key heritage events, it added..

TCS has been a technology consulting partner for NYRR since 2010.. It previously developed mobile apps for the 2013 NYC Half and will create a new app for the 2013 Marathon, helping participants to track runners and to get race results, information on the event, and tips for training.. As part of the new partnership, beginning November 5, 2013, TCS will be a principal sponsor of each of NYRR's major five borough events and its key heritage events, including the Oakley New York Mini 10K, the Fifth Avenue Mile and the Midnight Run.
