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. Check out all the NYCRUNS Membership benefits. If you’re not a NYCRUNS Member, you can sign up now and immediately receive the withdrawal/deferral benefit for the race you can no longer run.
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 2027 NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon, you can defer your 2027 entry to 2028. All deferrals must be made 10 days (4/15/27) or more before the race. If you defer your entry within 10 days of the race, you’ll receive 50% off your 2027 entry fee for the 2028 race. Any additional amount paid for add-ons that were not fulfilled in 2027 will be deferred in full to 2028. Deferrals are counted against the four (4) total Any-Reason Withdrawals that can be used in a membership year. Information regarding redeeming the 2028 deferral will be shared a few months after the 2027 race.
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.
