2022 9+1 Program FAQs
Read below for answers to frequently asked questions about the 9+1 program in 2022, through which runners can earn guaranteed, non-complimentary to the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon.
What are the requirements to complete the 2022 9+1 program?

- Register for and complete 9 qualifying races
- Volunteer at one +1 qualifying opportunity
- Have an active NYRR membership as of December 31, 2022
If I complete the 2022 9+1 program, can I use my non-complimentary guaranteed TCS New York City Marathon entry for 2024 or another future year?
No. Runners who complete the 2022 9+1 program will be eligible for entry only to the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon. Entry will not be rolled forward to 2024 or other future years. If you already have entry to the 2023 Marathon through another method, you cannot complete the 2022 program and to gain eligibility to the 2024 or later Marathon.
