2022 TCS New York City Marathon to Return at Full Capacity with 50,000 Runners
Application for the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon drawing opens on March 9
New York, February 24, 2022 – New York Road Runners (NYRR) today announced that the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon, taking place on November 6, will return at full capacity with 50,000 runners. The world’s largest marathon is one of the city’s most anticipated and iconic annual sporting events, attracting runners and spectators of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities from around the world.
“Every year, runners from all over the world come to New York City because there’s no better race than the New York City Marathon,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “This race is the strongest proof of New York’s unrelenting spirit and determination, and we are proud to announce that, this year, we’ll be back at full capacity. With 50,000 runners competing in November, the city that never sleeps will be where champions are made.”
As part of NYRR’s commitment to health and safety, last year’s marathon had a modified field size of 25,010 finishers; the reduction was determined in partnership with city and state officials. This year’s marathon will require all runners participating to be fully vaccinated. Many event elements will be restored including bringing back on-course entertainment and activations.
“Last year’s marathon served as an uplifting and unifying moment for New York City’s recovery as well as a symbol of renewed hope, inspiration, and perseverance,” said Ted Metellus, Race Director, TCS New York City Marathon. “This November, we are excited to have runners from all over the world fully return as we come together to deliver one of the best days in New York.”
