You may register in person (cash only) at packet pickup and on the morning of the race.

Time Limit & Pace: Unless explicitly stated, you must be able to maintain a pace of 15 minutes per mile or faster for all NYCRUNS races except 5Ks in which you must be able to maintain a pace of 20 minutes per mile. As long as you meet those requirements, you can rest assured your efforts will be supported with hydration stations, course amenities and proper medical coverage. If you cannot maintain the minimum pace at an NYCRUNS event, your finish time may not be recorded and you may be asked to remove yourself from competition by either vacating the course or surrendering your race bib. Please understand that these requirements are for your safety.Headphones & Earbuds: We recognize that many of you run best with music or audiobooks, but to ensure your safety and the safety of others, please do so in a manner that allows you to be aware of your surroundings. We'd prefer that you leave one ear unobstructed by only wearing one earbud at all times. If at any time NYCRUNS staff or volunteers see that you do not follow the directions of a course marshal or your awareness is otherwise hindered by your headphones or earbuds, you may be disqualified.Race Contact: theteam@nycruns.com.
