Member-Only Standby List
The Member-Only Standby List is a new perk for NYRR members who would like to participate in an NYRR race if entries become available after registration has closed. Members can easily join a race's standby list for free, however there's no guarantee that you will get an entry to the race while on a standby list. Should entries for closed races become available, individuals on the standby list will be invited to register for the race on a first-come, first-served basis.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a race’s Member-Only Standby List, you must have an active NYRR membership when you submit your application and on the race date.
You are only eligible to receive one invitation per race. If you have accepted an entry from another entry method (e.g. Team for Kids or an International Tour Operator), you will not be eligible to receive a Member-Only Standby List entry.

Joining a Member-Only Standby List
To join a Member-Only Standby List, members must fill out the Member-Only Standby List form, available on the race page and provide the following information.
- Membership ID number (found on your NYRR Dashboard or NYRR Member Card)
- First and Last Name
- Email associated with your NYRR account
Please see the list of current races and the status of their Member-Only Standby Lists below.
When registration closes for a race, the Member-Only Standby List application form will be available on this page. Members may submit only one form per event.
NYRR will cap the number of applications to each race’s Member-Only Standby List.
Claiming Your Entry
Members on a race’s Member-Only Standby List will be invited to register for the race on a first-come, first-served basis. Invited Members will be sent a non-complimentary invitation code via email at least 48 hours before the event date, and will have until 11:59 p.m. the day before the event to claim their entry using the code, register, and pay the entry fee through the NYRR website.
Please note:
- Your invitation code will be specific to your NYRR account; you will not be able to transfer it to another NYRR event or another runner.
- Failure to claim the invitation code and register before the deadline will result in a forfeiture of the invitation.
- You can confirm you have completed the registration process by going to your NYRR Dashboard and viewing your registered events. If you are on the Member-Only Standby List and do not receive a code 48 hours before the event date, you were not selected. You should not contact NYRR to find out your status on a standby list.
Once you register for the race, be sure to pick up your race materials according to the pickup guidelines on the race page.
