NYRR Team Championships 5M

NYRR strives to host inclusive, sustainable, and accessible events that enable all individuals to engage. To request reasonable accommodations or for inquiries about accessibility for attending this event, please email accessibility@nyrr.org.

To learn more about NYRR accessibility, please visit the NYRR Disability Inclusion & Accessibility Resource page.

If you are an Athlete with Disability who needs a guide or support runner to participate in a NYRR event, please follow the process explained here. To request to register a support runner, the runner must fill out the following form. All requests must be placed by runners at least two weeks prior to the event.

We at New York Road Runners believe running should be accessible to everyone. To help, we created NYRR Race Free to provide race fee assistance to those who qualify financially.

In 2024, we offered 1,000+ program slots and more than 3,000 complimentary race entries, including for the TCS New York City Marathon. Race Free applications that met the eligibility criteria were pooled based on previous participation and selected by borough or zip code until all slots were filled.

Check out the Race Free page this summer for updates on the 2026 application period. (Please note runners apply in 2025 for races in the calendar year of 2026.)

The Member-Only Standby List is a perk for NYRR members who are willing to participate in an NYRR race if entries become available after registration has closed. These individuals will be invited to register for the race on a first-come, first-served basis.

Active NYRR Members can join and read about the Member-Only Standby List here.

• Review the NYRR policy on start and finish cutoff times here.
• Runners can register as woman, man, or nonbinary. Visit our FAQ page for more information on how to update your profile.
• If you wish to pay in cash for your race entry, please reach out to our Runner Services team for assistance. Please be sure to include the event name and the email associated with your NYRR account.
• This race is a 9+1 program qualifier.

Be event-ready and avoid delays on race day by claiming your new NYRR account and QR code in advance. You need your new QR code when you pick up your bib or check in for your volunteer shift. Learn more here.

Runners are encouraged to pick up their bibs at the RUNCENTER to avoid race day lines.

On race day, number pickup will be available from 6:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. at Race-Day Central (located at Ballfield #8 near 102nd Street.).

Show your race confirmation email or the QR code from your NYRR account to pick up your race materials. Proxy bib pickup is available for this race, so a friend or family member can pick up your race materials. The person will need the QR code for your NYRR account, along with a form of photo identification that corresponds to your NYRR account.

In order to score for a team, an entrant must be a member of an established and NYRR-recognized running team and must have completed at least one NYRR scored/qualifying race for that team since (but not including) the previous year’s Team Championships. Furthermore, they may not have competed for that team until at least 90 days after having competed for another team.

If a participating team has not fielded a full team in their division (men’s open, women’s open, nonbinary open, 40+, 50+, 60+, 70+) at a prior NYRR Club Points race since (but not including) the previous year’s Team Championships, the team may not score in that division at the NYRR Team Championships.

All team categories for the NYRR Team Championships are scored by net time. At the Team Championships, points are doubled in each team category as follows:

• Open: 10 men, 10 women, and 3 nonbinary runners score for a team in their respective races
• 40+: 5 men/5 women
• 50+: 3 men/3 women
• 60+: 3 men/3 women
• 70+: 3 men/3 women

If NYRR cancels an offering on the direction of local, city, or state authorities, participants will be informed as soon as possible, including communication of participant resolution options. Events will not be rescheduled.

No Refunds: Entry fees are non-refundable and may not be deferred or transferred.
