NYCRUNS members gain access to valuable benefits including:
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 any day before race day for 50% credit. Please note, new members within 21 days of joining can use one (1) withdrawal any 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 race on sale at the time.
If you’re sick or hurt and unable to run your race (and have used up your Any Reason withdrawals for your membership year) you can access a medical withdrawal. You will receive race credit equivalent to the registration fee you paid for the race you are withdrawing from. To receive a NYCRUNS member medical withdrawal, you will have to provide a letter from an accredited doctor no later than the Thursday before the race. Race credit may be used to pay for up to 50% or $40 (whichever is greater) for any race. Race credit must be used within 6 months but may be used for any race on sale at the time.
In the rare event that a NYCRUNS race that you are registered in is canceled due to weather or other extreme factors, you can request race credit for the full event fee paid. Members will be able to select from the full NYCRUNS event schedule (with very limited exceptions) using 100% of the race credit from the canceled race. Race credit must be used within 6 months but may be used for any race on sale at the time.
All NYCRUNS members will receive their race bibs in the mail for every race they are registered for (excluding the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half Marathon). To receive this free bib mailing benefit, members will need to register for the race more than 30 days before race day. The bib will be sent to the address designated on your account and will be mailed and tracked within 30 days of the race. Please note, NYCRUNS can't send bibs to members with an international address.
