9+1 Credit Qualifying Virtual Races

Over the second half of 2020, the remainder of the NYRR Volvo Virtual Racing Powered by Strava race schedule will feature 12 virtual races. On account of the ongoing health and safety risks associated with COVID-19, five of the new Virtual Races will be designated 9+1 program qualifier races and will count as credit towards completion of the 9+1 program in 2020.

Runners can complete the 9+1 qualifier program in 2020, however they are not guaranteed entry for 2021. With the health and safety of runners during the ongoing global pandemic being our top priority, the field sizes for future New York Road Runners events have yet to be determined.

Please note: Runners who were registered for qualifying in-person races that are canceled can choose the TCS New York City Marathon 9+1 qualifier credit option as their race cancellation resolution. Runners will earn credit for each race for which they choose the qualifier credit option.

Read below for a schedule of upcoming virtual races, as well as the pricing structure for these events.

For runners looking to earn credit toward both the Virtual 6 and the 9+1 guaranteed entry programs, each race except for the Virtual TCS New York City Marathon will have an entry fee of $25 for NYRR members and $35 for non-members.

All NYRR Volvo Virtual Racing Powered by Strava events also offer a General Entry tier, providing runners with the option to register for the race for free. Registration through the General Entry tier does not earn credit for the Virtual 6 program or the 9+1 program.


During the months ahead, NYRR will work closely with government officials and medical experts to determine the necessary health and safety protocols to establish the appropriate field size for the 2021 TCS New York City Marathon, as well as all of our events. Additional changes to our 2020 in-person race schedule will be announced soon.
