The 2023 TCS New York City Marathon brings together a diverse field of runners from the New York City area and beyond. The non-guaranteed entry drawing helps preserve the diversity of the race.

Runners who do not have guaranteed entry to the race could apply to the non-guaranteed general entry drawing between February 8 and February 22. The drawing for these entries will take place on Wednesday, March 1.

The entries available to non-guaranteed applicants will be filled through three drawings, one in each of the following applicant pools:

1. "NYC metro area" applicants: Residents in and within 60 miles of New York City
2. "National" applicants: U.S. residents outside of the NYC metro area, including Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories
3. "International" applicants: Non-U.S. residents

A drawing will be conducted within each applicant pool. To be selected, you must have provided a valid credit card, future expiration date, and authorization to charge. The provided credit card is charged when the applicant is drawn; if the charge is not approved, the applicant will be removed and another applicant will be drawn from the same applicant pool.

Once you submit the application into the non-guaranteed drawing, you have authorized NYRR to charge your credit or debit card a non-refundable entry fee upon acceptance into the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon. Your card must have an expiration date of April 2023 or later, and if you plan to pay using a debit card, please ensure that your card has enough funds to pay the entry fee.

Note: If you are accepted into the race through the drawing, the credit card saved as your default credit card will be charged $255 (members) or $295 (non-members). If you do not have a default card saved currently, the card entered at this time will become your default. Your default card must be valid through March 2023. After the application closes, NYRR will test the credit card you have on file by placing a $1 hold on the card. Please note that any hold you see on your card prior to the drawing does not mean you have been selected in the drawing. We are running this test for all runners who have applied to the drawing to make sure that anyone who is selected in the drawing is not prevented from gaining entry because of a credit card issue. To change your default credit card, sign in to your dashboard.

You can remove your name from the applicant pool prior to the drawing, but once you are accepted by any method, all fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable. NYRR does not contact applicants prior to accepting them in order to reconfirm that they wish to be selected.

Please note: Handcycle and push-rim applicants should apply to the non-guaranteed entry drawing.

The rules applicable to the TCS New York City Marathon do not permit entry by a person intending to be pushed in a wheelchair, stroller or other piece of equipment by another person or persons. To be accepted for entry, "disabled" applicants planning to use a wheelchair or other allowable equipment must be able to "push" themselves through the marathon course. While official "guides" are permitted to accompany a disabled entrant on the course, such guides cannot push the entrant through the course.

If you are an athlete with a disability and have any questions regarding race entry, guides, or other circumstances please contact NYRR at nyrrawdteam@nyrr.org.
