For a lifetime of fun and fitness, join New York Road Runners.
Why You Should Join?
NYRR’s comprehensive fitness plan serves 300,000 runners and walkers annually, including a total of 40,000 U.S. members in all 50 states. We offer races, classes, clinics, and community services for people of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels. Our flagship event is the renowned ING New York City Marathon.
Membership in NYRR offers:
• Eligibility for guaranteed entry to the ING New York City Marathon* (Runners must become members by January 31 to qualify for the following year’s ING New York City Marathon.) [Eligibility Details]
• Reduced fees for NYRR races (up to 35 percent off!), fitness classes, special events, and parties
• Discounts on NYRR merchandise
• Regular mailings, including New York Runner, a glossy, full-color magazine, plus newsletters, race applications, e-mail bulletins, and special announcements
• Free informational Learning Series clinics on fitness-related topics
• An annual discount Benefits Directory, listing area stores, gyms, and healthcare providers offering NYRR member discounts
• Use of free lockers and water fountain convenient to Central Park
* Individuals who are NYRR members by January 31 of a given year, run nine (9) qualifying NYRR races and volunteer for one (1) NYRR race within that same calendar year, and maintain their membership the following year will be eligible for guaranteed entry into that following year’s ING New York City Marathon (i.e., runners must join by January 31, 2010, and run nine races in 2010 and volunteer for one race in 2010 to be eligible for guaranteed entry to the ING New York City Marathon 2011).
NYRR membership also helps to support numerous community programs and safety initiatives. We offer many ways to get involved: NYRR youth programs promote health and well-being for schoolchildren in New York City communities with little or no access to athletic programming.
Other public programs and volunteer opportunities include Group Runs and a Senior Fitness Program. Our websites, www.nyrr.org and www.ingnycmarathon.org, offer race results, ING New York City Marathon information, elite racing reports, merchandise sales, and much more.
You can join NYRR for as little as $40 per year.
* Membership is non-transferable and the fee is non-refundable
