2018 TCS New York City Marathon
Media Credential Application

Welcome to the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon media credential application. Please review the following application options before proceeding. Once you have identified the appropriate option, complete only this application.


This application is intended for members of a newsgathering organization on editorial assignment (e.g., TV news, newspaper, magazine, or website) requesting media credentials, and who do not require special access. Special access is defined as areas other than the standard media positions at the Start, Finish and Media Center.


GROUP MANAGERS: Supervisors, news directors, or editors must apply for credentials for all individuals at their news organizations on their behalf. You may only submit one application per news organization. Only requests coming from the supervisor, news director, or editor of the news organization will be considered. After completing the form, you will receive a link to your outlet’s credential homepage. Please note, this may take up to one week. Supervisors, news directors or editors who served as group credential managers for last year’s Marathon do not need to fill out the preliminary form. Please contact mediacredentials@nyrr.org to receive the link to your media outlet’s credential homepage to submit your application for this year.


INDIVIDUALS: If you are an individual working member of the media on an editorial assignment, please click Individual for the single media member form. Please check with your assigning supervisor, editor or producer to ensure you are not already included as part of a Group Manager’s submission.


SPECIAL PROJECTS: If you are a non-newsgathering organization or newsgathering organization with a project that requires special access to the marathon, you must apply for a special project credential by emailing specialprojects@nyrr.org. Special Projects will likely require additional costs to cover production expenses.
