We understand that unexpected things happen, and you may need to opt out of a race you previously registered for. While our policy prohibits refunds or transfers, we do offer withdrawal/deferral benefits for NYCRUNS MEMBERS ONLY – up to four (4) Any-Reason Withdrawals per membership year. Check out all the NYCRUNS Membership benefits.
For all races other than the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon, race credit will be added to your NYCRUNS account. When using race credit to register for events, members receive up to 50% or $40 (whichever is greater) off the original race entry price, through a combination of membership discount and race credit. Race credit must be used within six (6) months and may be used for any race on sale at the time.
For the 2026 NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon, you can defer your entry to 2027. All deferrals must be made 10 days (4/16/26) or more before the race. If you defer your entry within 10 days of the race, you’ll receive 50% off your entry fee for 2027. The amount paid for add-ons that were not fulfilled will be deferred to 2027. Deferrals are counted against the four (4) total Any-Reason Withdrawals that can be used in a membership year. Information regarding redeeming the 2027 deferral entry will be shared in June 2026.
Medical withdrawals are unlimited. Follow the same process as a normal withdrawal, while also filling out a contact form alerting our Team that you need a medical withdrawal. A NYCRUNS Team Member will follow up to request a doctor’s note verifying your injury or illness. Upon review, we’ll add the Any Reason withdrawal back to your NYCRUNS Dashboard account.
