• The 2020 in-person TCS NYC Marathon scheduled for November 1st is canceled.

• Registration for the virtual race opens July 28, 2020 at 12:00 PM EST.

• Yes, they will be using the same queueing system so you might have to wait if they are experience heavy traffic on the site.

• You must complete your virtual race with a Strava account. It’s free but if you want more features you can pay for the premium account.

• Your virtual race must be completed between October 17th and November 1st of 2020.

• That means you will have about 13 weeks of training. There are two ways you can train:

• There are four “tiers” to register for this race (see below)

• The guaranteed entries will be non-complimentary. That means you will receive a guaranteed spot to run a future marathon in 2021, 2022, or 2023 and you will have to pay the entry fee then.

• There are limited spots for the Guaranteed Entry (1,000) and Fundraise for NYRR Team for Kids (200). Both are first come, first served.

• There are unlimited spots for the Run For The Medal and Run For The Love of Running options.

• Let me know if you have any questions in the comments section below.

*If you register for and complete the Run for Guaranteed Entry tier or the Run for NYRR Team for Kids tier, you will participate in a future marathon selection process in 2021 to choose the year for your non-complimentary entry (either 2021, 2022, or 2023). You may not be guaranteed your preferred year due to potential limitations to future field sizes.
