New York, January 17, 2017—The entry application for the 2017 TCS New York City Marathon opens online at tcsnycmarathon.org at 12 p.m. EST today. The month-long runner application window for both guaranteed and non-guaranteed entries will remain open through February 17. The race, which is the premier event of New York Road Runners and the largest marathon in the world, will take place on Sunday, November 5.

“Today, the 2017 TCS New York City Marathon application officially opens. We’re thrilled to welcome runners from around the world to apply to take part in this transformative experience through New York City’s five boroughs,” said Ronnie Tucker, vice president, marketing and digital, New York Road Runners. “Whether you apply to run through this year’s free drawing, receive guaranteed entry through NYRR’s popular 9+1 program, or take part on behalf of a charity such as NYRR’s Team for Kids or one of our many official charity partners, we look forward to seeing you cross the finish line this November.”

Runners who earned guaranteed entry must claim their spot during the month-long application window. Information regarding guaranteed entry is available at tcsnycmarathon.org.

The non-guaranteed entry drawing is free to enter, and brings together runners of all ages and abilities from around the world. Each person may enter the non-guaranteed entry drawing once. The non-guaranteed applicant drawing will be held on March 2, 2017.

Runners can also receive a guaranteed spot in the race by registering to run for NYRR’s Team for Kids. Team for Kids is the TCS New York City Marathon’s largest charity and raises funds for NYRR’s free youth running programs for kids who would otherwise have little or no access to regular physical activity. More than 215,000 youth are served nationally through NYRR’s free youth running programs and events, including 115,000 in New York City’s five boroughs.
