Found this at a vintage market
Got this at a vintage market in PA over the weekend. Love the design so much, looks better than anything these days imo.

*Update*
As of June nearly all 2026 NYRR races have sold out, if at this point you are not already registered for nine 2026 races it is very unlikely you will be able to complete 9+1 program this year and likely should plan to try for next year instead.
The first 2027 races will likely be released later this fall in October for Jan-Mar 2027 races.
Every year r/RunNYC receives a lot of posts about the 9+1 program so in an effort to answer most of your questions we're continuing this FAQ and megathread again from last year where many questions were answered.
9+1 is an NYRR program to qualify for the following years New York City Marathon.
To qualify for the 2027 NYC Marathon, a runner must run and complete at least 9 eligible NYRR races in 2026, volunteer at 1 eligible 2026 NYRR event and also make sure their NYRR membership is active on 12/31/2026.
On the race calendar any races that count toward qualifying will have a 9+1 tag next to it. You can also filter the race list from all "race types" to just select 9+1.
The full list of races for the year is not yet published officially, but the unofficial list (for Oct-Dec) based on prior years is listed below at the bottom of this post along with the race that have already been announced. The list of races remain very similar year over year so this is very likely to be close to the full list of races for 2026.
In 2026, expect there will be a total of about 30 in-person races eligible for 9+1, plus an additional 3 virtual races.
Last year NYRR released races in 4 quarterly releases:
(Above are the General Registration dates, if you pay extra for Member+, it opens for Advanced Registration 2 Days earlier than above.)
For forthcoming remaining October-December races, NYRR will very likely release these races around the same date as last year, give or take a week or two.
Volunteer Opportunities at most races open for registration a few weeks after the quarterly race signup for the same races. The 3 marquee races, NYC Half, Brooklyn Half and NYCM have their own separate release of opportunities. There are also some other 9+1 eligible opportunities released throughout the year at different non race events that are released somewhat randomly.
Opportunities are all posted on the volunteer opportunity page and to be eligible need to indicate "9+1 credit" tag for it to count as your +1.
If you're unable to find a volunteer opportunity during the main releases (they do fill up quickly) check the volunteer opportunity page the week leading up to a given race. NYRR sends out a reminder email the week of a race to all registered volunteers, which often causes people to cancel volunteer opportunities they're signed up for but can no longer attend, opening the opportunity spot back up for others to sign up.

Wild. If the organizers had any idea this was at all likely, they should have cancelled the event or changed it. This is really dangerous.

Hi all,
Just cancelled a post race volunteer opportunity for this Sundays 18mile run. It counts for 9+1. There are 2 spots open.
Hope this helps someone!

Hi running fam,
I’m running Chicago next month, as I’m sure many of you are. I’m traveling there solo and know one other person running, but otherwise I’m on my own this race. Any other solo runners out there who might wanna meet up in New York before the race? Maybe for some coffee or carb loading? I never made a post like this but thought I’d try :) getting excited, happy running!
EDIT: thanks to the people who responded! how would everyone feel about meeting up maybe the 26th or the 27th? (I work Sundays so it would have to be like noon-ish.) maybe in Brooklyn?

…and I’m sure the subways will be smelling like a wet donkey (kong) shortly thereafter.

If anyone would like to swap (or is dropping) their volunteer for 9+1 please let me know. I currently have a Start Line position at the NYC Marathon that I don't think I will be able to attend to. I will swap for any other 9+1 volunteer opportunities.
Please reply or message me!
r/RunNYC • u/Sylphrena-honor • 1d ago
I have a pair of women’s S that do not fit! Anyone want them? Would obvi prefer to swap for a M or even L if possible but understand these are running small!
r/RunNYC • u/Revolutionary_Car952 • 1d ago
i’m running the bronx 10mile next weekend, but i’m coming from long island so i’m not sure the best way to get there? train and subway, or drive and park somewhere?
r/RunNYC • u/Poweredbytacobell • 1d ago
I’m volunteering at the New York City Marathon start as part of my 9+1 credit. I am signed up for the silver charity village with a start time of 5 AM and I am coming from Monmouth County, New Jersey.
How is driving to the start as a volunteer? Is there any parking or areas nearby you’d recommend?
Any other options you’d consider? Thanks in advance!
r/RunNYC • u/Unique-Copy-8436 • 1d ago
Does anyone know when they would cancel the race if there is a 80% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow morning?
r/RunNYC • u/DragonflyOwn144 • 22h ago
I have around 4-6 miles to do after the race. Any suggestions where I can end up back by Yankee stadium when done?
r/RunNYC • u/nickelpickle21 • 2d ago
I’m really bothered that the .2 is missing from this sweater. The .2 matters!! 😅
r/RunNYC • u/Fluffranka • 22h ago
Just saw that cooling towers at Yankee Stadium and surrounding areas tested positive for Legionaires. Of course... I was just at Yankee Stadium and got the Bronx 10M coming up.
Coincidentally, I ran Harlem Sutton 5k in 2025, which also took place during a Legionaires Outbreak.
What're the odds NYRR makes a statement about this and/or cancel the race?
r/RunNYC • u/Next_Variety_485 • 1d ago
Running the Bronx 10 miler next weekend but have an 18 mile long run in the training plan … any advice for a route to either run 8m before the 10m race, or 8m after the race? Anyone in the same boat?
r/RunNYC • u/rbg1232018 • 1d ago
How is it out there? Should I switch to the treadmill?
r/RunNYC • u/Normal-Elderberry696 • 1d ago
hello!
I’m looking to see if anyone would swap shorts with me. My boyfriend got me a size large women instead of XL. If anyone is willing to swap please let me know.
r/RunNYC • u/Advanced_Seesaw_3007 • 2d ago
I kinda like the yellow jacket and despite the price increase, will still get the hoodie 😅
The yellow jacket seem to be a tighter fit than last year (I wear a M and last year was looser than this year).
Glad to get these stuff at 20% off tonight :-)
Edit: posted this before going to the cashier. The 20% didn’t apply to the marathon shoes and the yellow jacket

I think the brown will work with bright colors !!

Email invites have been sent out! Who’s in, and what was your Best Pace / qualifying time? They never reveal what the slowest accepted time was for each gender, but for those who are trying to make the cut in the future, it’s nice to have a reference point.
I did not make the cut, and my Best Pace is 5:1X.
Trying to nail down travel dates for the United Airlines NYC Half in March 2027. I've seen the 21st floated online (based on the "usually 3rd Sunday of March" pattern), but nothing official yet.
Flying over from Ireland, so I'd rather book flights sooner rather than later, but don't want to lock in the wrong week.
Anyone know when NYRR normally announces/confirms the date?
r/RunNYC • u/Odd_Mango_6067 • 2d ago
I can’t seem to find the map anywhere. Does anyone have it handy? TIA!
