VERIZON NEW YORK CITY TRIATHLON

JULY 11, 2021

2021 Lottery NOW OPEN

Thank you for sticking with us through the dynamically changing environment we all have been navigating. Together, we have proven our collective resolve and a remarkable resilience through uncertainty.

As we look toward brighter days, our team pushes forward with planning a safe and exciting return of the iconic Verizon New York City Triathlon this summer, pending evolving health guidelines and final approval from the City of New York. We are working in consultation with the City and will follow all state and federal health guidelines provided. With safety at the forefront, we highly anticipate welcoming our valued athletes to the start line in the Big Apple on Sunday, July 11, 2021 – including you!

Put your name in the running for your chance to swim, bike, run your way to the Finish Line with us this summer.
The lottery is now open through April 28th!

Guaranteed Registration

Guaranteed entry is reserved for the following groups who have access to bypass the lottery drawing: 2020 athletes who chose a refund or to donate their entry due to the event cancellation, active Life Time Members, and active duty First Responders.

Due to the limited participant capacity and increased safety protocols we must uphold this year, those who qualified for Priority Entry MUST have registered with their unique code provided via email by April 13, 2021 (11:59 PM ET), after which lottery submissions open to the public and guaranteed spots are limited. Athletes who chose to defer their 2020 entry were offered priority guaranteed registration for the 2021 as well as the option to defer to the 2022 event at no cost until April 13, 2021.*

*Athletes who did not register with their personal deferral code by April 13, 2021 (11:59 pm ET) will have their deferral applied to the 2022 Verizon NYC Tri. Instructions on how to redeem the 2022 event deferral will be sent later this year. The 2022 Verizon NYC Triathlon will be the last chance to apply your deferral, after which the entry will be forfeited completely. 

Why do you have to re-register every time you defer?
Each year, we need athletes to register for the event so they agree to our new waivers, updated policies, and to collect their most up-to-date information (shirt size, emergency contact info, etc.)

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS

Life Time continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic for potential impact on its 2021 race season. As COVID-19 conditions are ever-evolving, certain aspects of the 2021 Verizon New York City Triathlon are subject to change for the safety of athletes, spectators and the public. Learn more about Life Time Athletic Events.

The Verizon New York City Triathlon team continues to work with local, city, state, and public health officials to determine best practices needed to ensure the safety of all community members. Final safety measures and protocols, along with participant requirements pending local regulations and event plans, will be made available closer to the race date. Here are a few examples of what you might expect to see (subject to change):

2021 EVENT CANCELLATION POLICY

While Life Time is committed to planning our scheduled events in 2021, we don’t know the extent to which our lineup will continue to be impacted by COVID-19. As such we have revisited and revised our policy on entry refunds and deferrals to provide more athlete flexibility for event participation. A link to this policy will be included in the registration process, whereby participants must indicate that they understand and accept the terms.
