Cancellation

Runners who cancelled their entry to the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon may be eligible for guaranteed entry to the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon. In order to claim guaranteed entry, runners must register and pay the 2024 processing and entry fees during the guaranteed entry claim window (February 21 - March 21, 2024). All entry fees are non-refundable. If you cancel your entry in 2023, you are not automatically placed in the following year's race; you will still need to claim that entry for the 2024 race. Guaranteed entries not submitted during the guaranteed entry claim window are forfeited.

Please Note: Runners who earn guaranteed entry to the 2024 race because they canceled in 2023 cannot cancel a second time (in 2024) and become eligible for guaranteed entry in 2025.

New York Road Runners has partnered with Allianz Global Assistance to provide race entry fee insurance for participants in the TCS New York City Marathon. “Registration Protector” from Allianz Global Assistance is available for purchase by TCS New York City Marathon registrants who are United States residents.

Entry fees are refundable if runners purchased Registration Protector and their claim is accepted by Allianz; such runners will still need to cancel their TCS New York City Marathon race entry (if eligible by the guidelines posted above) in order to claim their guaranteed entry for the following year's race.
