Volunteer

Volunteer registration for the 2019 TCS New York City Marathon is open in your NYRR account for race-day roles. 

Volunteer in 2019

Marathon volunteers—up to 12,000 strong—represent the best that NYC has to offer: They’re helpful, enthusiastic, friendly, and proud of our amazing city. Fulfilling a volunteer opportunity on race day is a great way to pay it forward for your future marathon or to show your thanks for a past race. Please note that volunteering on the day of the TCS New York City Marathon does not count toward the 9+1 guaranteed entry program. 

Upon registering for a volunteer role, you’ll receive an automatic email confirmation; you’ll receive more information closer to race day. You can log on to your NYRR account to confirm the date, time, and location of your selection or to cancel if you are no longer available. Click on the Volunteer tab on the left menu of your dashboard; your Volunteer Commitments will be at the top of the page.

All start/finish and medical volunteers receive a New Balance jacket, and all fluid station volunteers receive a New Balance winter hat.
