Cancellation Policy
Updated for 2010
This policy applies to all accepted entrants except those who applied through a Charity or Official International Travel Partner.
Entrants who cancel their entry for the ING New York City Marathon 2010 according to the instructions listed below will be eligible for guaranteed entry to the ING New York City Marathon 2011. All fees are non-refundable. If you cancel for 2010 and wish to enter the 2011 race you will still need to apply and pay the entry fee as well as applicable fees by March 5, 2011. Accepted entrants may cancel as many years in a row as they wish.
Once you have canceled, you cannot be reinstated into the ING New York City Marathon 2010. Your decision is final.
There are three ways to cancel:
Cancel online
More information on canceling online coming soon.
Cancel by mail
Mailed cancellations will be accepted if postmarked between November 2, 2009 and November 6, 2010. To cancel by mail, send a note with your entry number, name, address, date of birth, and the words "cancel my entry" to: Marathon Cancellations, New York Road Runners, 9 East 89th Street, New York, NY 10128. For your convenience, we strongly recommend canceling online.
Cancel in person
From November 4-6, cancellations will be accepted in person at the ING New York City Marathon Health and Fitness Expo. Once runners have picked up their race number they cannot cancel.
Early in 2010, all entrants who canceled their entry to the 2009 race will be sent instructions for applying for guaranteed entry by the deadline of March 15, 2010. If you do not receive those instructions, it is still your responsibility to apply before the deadline.
International Travel Partner:
If you applied through an Official International Travel Partner and wish to withdraw, please contact your travel partner directly. Any withdrawn entrant will not receive guaranteed entry in the ING New York City Marathon 2011 or subsequent ING New York City Marathons.
Charity Partner:
If you applied through an Official Charity or Charity Partner and wish to cancel, please contact your charity directly for cancellation requirements. Charity entrants may be eligible to receive guaranteed entry in the ING New York City Marathon 2011.
E-mail marathonmailer@nyrr.org if you have questions.
You may not give or sell your race number or d-tag to someone else. Anyone found participating with another person's number will be disqualified and both people will be barred from future New York Road Runners events, including the ING New York City Marathon.
