The 2022 TCS New York City Marathon will be back at its full capacity for the first-time since 2019.
According to the New York Road Runners (NYRR), there will be 50,000 participants at the Nov. 6 event.
“Every year, runners come from all over the globe to New York City for the New York City Marathon,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams stated in a statement. “This race is the best proof of New York’s determination and unrelenting spirit, and we are proud that we will be back at our full capacity this year.” November will see 50,000 runners compete in the race. This city is where champions are made.

The race set a new world record in 2019, with 53,627 runners finishing, compared to 25,010 finishers in 2021.
Within 48 hours of the race, all runners had to either show proof of vaccinationor a negative COVID-19 testing.
NYRR, the organization that runs the marathon, stated that this year’s race will require all runners to have their vaccines up-to-date.
