 NYRR to Require COVID-19 Full Vaccination to Participate in Its 2022 Races

New York, December 6, 2021 - New York Road Runners (NYRR) today announced 
that runners taking part in its 2022 adult races will be required to show 
proof of COVID-19 full vaccination to participate. With COVID variants and 
cases increasing, the decision was made in collaboration with medical and 
public health experts and state and local government officials. The new 
health and safety protocol will begin with the NYRR Midnight Run on 
December 31 and continue with races moving forward.

"We are excited to have our traditional calendar of events safely return in 
the new year," said Kerin Hempel, CEO, NYRR. "The health and wellness of 
all of those involved continue to remain at the forefront of our 
organization."

All entrants will be required to show proof of full vaccination series 
authorized by the Emergency Use Authorization by the U.S. Food & Drug 
Administration (FDA) or on the World Health Organization (WHO) Emergency
Use lists. Runners who have already registered for a 2022 race will have 
the option to receive a refund or gift card or donate their race entry fee 
to NYRR's youth and community programs.

Guidelines and protocols may continue to evolve and subject to change. NYRR 
will revise its operational plans as necessary. More information about the 
guidelines and protocols are available at www.nyrr.org/covidvaccine.
