The charter network’s runners even trained together for the marathon.
“Education is an endurance sport,” Moskowitz said before the grueling 26.2 miles trek through the five boroughs.
Moskowitz, 61, first ran in the city’s marathon last year.
Nick Jaspers, head of Success’ history department, is the team captain.
Moskowitz’ daughter, Hannah, a Success Academy alumna and current student at the University of Pennsylvania, headed back to Gotham to run with the team as well.
Each of the 53 runners was expected to raise at least $3,000 in pledges.
Moskowitz, who has a cadre of well-heeled donors, said she will make up the difference if any of the runners fall short of the $3,000 goal.
The money will be used to help more students afford to take college courses while still at Success.
Last year, 300 students participated in it’s college access program.
The 59-school network has among the highest-scoring students on the state’s standardized math and English exams.
Pass rates for students at the charter network in grades 3-7 were nearly double those of their traditional-public-school counterparts.
Success boasted that 92.5% of its 9,280 students in those grades passed the 2025 English Language Arts exam while 96.2% proved they were proficient in math.
