NEW for this Race! Reusable Cups
Following a successful 2024 pilot, NYRR will continue its partnership with Cup Zero to reduce single-use waste. Reusable hydration cups will be available at the RBC Race for the Kids 4M Presented by NYRR and other select races throughout the year.
Runners are strongly encouraged to return their cups to the designated receptacles in the post-finish area. NYRR volunteers will be available to assist. Returning the cup ensures it can be cleaned and reused—supporting both the environment and the program’s success.

NYRR Race Free
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 calendar year 2026.)
