NYRR offers Teak, a refund program that provides registration fee protection on all paid events. For the 9+1 pass, participants who purchase refund protection on the $99 pass fee will be able to submit a claim for a refund if they are unable to complete the program for a covered reason.
Claims must be submitted before the end of the 9+1 program on December 31, 2027. If you have achieved 9+1 but are not able to claim your 2028 TCS New York City Marathon guaranteed entry, you will not be eligible to receive a refund.
Registration fee protection purchased on the 9+1 Pass will only cover the $99 9+1 Pass fee. It will not cover any race fees for races run during the 2027 9+1 program. You may separately purchase refund protection for race fees at the time of registration.
