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. 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.
NYCRUNS members can withdraw from up to four (4) races per membership year, no questions asked. Two (2) withdrawals can be used at least ten (10) days before race day to receive 100% credit. Two (2) withdrawals can be used by 11:59 PM the day before the race for 50% credit. Please note, new members within 21 days of joining can use one (1) withdrawal up to 11:59 PM the day before the race and receive 100% credit. 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 eligible race currently on sale.
If you’re unable to run the 2027 NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon you can defer your entry to 2028, no questions asked. Full deferrals must be made by 11:59 PM ET on April 15, 2027, which is ten (10) days before the race. If you defer your entry within 10 days of the race (from April 16 through 11:59 PM ET on April 24, 2027), you’ll receive 50% off your entry fee for 2028. Add-ons purchased with your 2027 race entry do not automatically transfer. The value of eligible, unshipped add-ons become credit applicable to the 2028 add-ons. Deferrals are counted against the four (4) total Any-Reason Withdrawals you receive in a membership year and are subject to the same Any-Reason Withdrawal guidelines.
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.
