JULY 11, 2021

Mark Your Calendar! 2021 Lottery Opens Wednesday, April 14

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!

Invitation Only Registration

Due to the limited participant capacity and increased safety protocols we must uphold this year, those who qualify for Priority Entry MUST register with their unique code provided via email by April 13, 2021 (11:59 PM ET), after which lottery submissions will open to the public. Those who do not wish to race with us this year will have the option within registration to defer to the 2022 event at no cost.*

*Complimentary deferral to the 2022 race is valid until April 13 (11:59 pm ET), after which registrants will incur a $50 fee to do so in accordance with our 2021 Event Cancellation Policy.

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.
