For those who don't get NYRR emails, this a reminder that a 9+1 eligible race opens today at noon.
Team Champs 5 Mile on July 26 in Central Park was previously only open to active clubs, but will open for general registration today.
Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2026 @ 7:00 pm
Location: Prospect Park
Bag Check
ALL MEMBERS can register today for the Staten Island Half.
Advance registration begins today at 12 PM - NOON for Member Plus and above. General registration is Thursday, June 11.
Tip: The waiting room typically opens around 11am - open a race page between then and 12pm to get into the waiting room, and at 12 you will be dropped into the queue. You're put into the queue randomly, if you log on at 11:20 or 11:59, there is no difference, but 12:01 you will enter the back. It's also probably best to log in to NYRR before starting to register.

Hello runners!
A few updates here. We've just reached over 47,000 subscribers! Yet another huge jump in the last year. You can basically track the Running Boom by looking at our subscriber count.
But now that the spring races have mostly passed and we're nearing the start of marathon training, it's time for (potentially controversial) rule change. We've been hinting at this in the past, but feel the need to implement it before summer really begins.
No "running etiquette" rants.
At least for the near future until we can boost up the mod team. Again, this may be controversial, but we're about to be overwhelmed by them as the running boom and marathon training make the parks filled with thousands of runners. Last fall we had at least one of these posts a week, beating the same dead horse.
At a minimum, all these posts do is rile up the negativity while preaching to the choir. At it's worst, it turns into suggesting violence as a solution, witch hunts, or doxxing and online harassment - all of which have actually happened in the last 6 months. The resolution is never helpful, educational, nor does it inspire change.
From a moderator position it is very difficult to monitor, hence the need to at least pause and reevaluate. From a community position, it makes many active and helpful users here ready to leave, and can make this sub feel really toxic.
I have ideas for how to promote good running etiquette in the city, none of them great (like a Wiki link pinned to the sidebar), but IMO better than a rant 2-3 times a week.

Part 2 is that we're looking for additional mods, likely 2-3 more.
https://sh.reddit.com/r/RunNYC/application/
There's a short questionnaire to fill out if you're interested. We've hit a level where additional level-headed eyes are needed to keep the community a positive, informative, and welcoming place.
The main ask is that any new mods should have access to reddit during normal business hours -- there is no expectation to be online all the time, but the bulk of our activity happens during the day, which is where we need some help.
But also we'd like someone who is passionate about making sure to keep this community a great and positive resource for NYC runners.

Feel free to discuss, give feedback, ideas, criticisms, etc in this post. We do our best to make this a positive, welcoming, and useful community, but recognize there's a lot of judgement calls and nuance that don't always work out 100%.

I've searched this sub and most responses like this are from 10 months ago when Mod Recruiting was new.
I've built a mod recruiting application and want to share it with the sub. When I click on the share link both with my mod account and with an alt it shows me:
"You can't apply to moderate this community right now"
I've actually tried two alts and neither works. Is it possible reddit knows they're both me so blocks it? Is it based off of karma? Do you need 2FA or something?
Interestingly, I found a different sub's application page and can access that with this account, but when I try with one of my alts I get blocked, so I feel like I'm missing something.
Most of this is from desktop, though I've looked at it on mobile and can't see anything either.
My actual application is this: https://sh.reddit.com/r/RunNYC/application/
Not really sure where to go from here. Any ideas?
For anyone who missed the email from NYRR, USATF Championships tickets are on sale.
No start lists have been announced as far as I know, but you can expect a good showing.

This post is just for registration discussions. All other registration threads will be funneled here.
NYRR Registration opens this week. We will have registration megathreads posted and will try to keep race statuses updated if/when they reach capacity.
Note: The registration window appears to begin at 12:00pm again, no longer at 6:00pm.
Advance registration is capped at an unknown number of slots to prevent races from selling out entirely on the first day (with the exception of the three races listed above - they will almost definitely sell out on Tuesday). Last session these races reached capacity at around 1.5 - 2 hours after the window opened. They then sold out 1-2 hours after General registration on Thursday.
There is no difference if you enter the waiting room 2 minutes before registration begins or 20 minutes before. Everyone in the waiting room at 12pm will be dropped randomly into a queue. However if you log on at 12:01, you will be put into the back.
