After announcing the reopening of the U.S. border on November 8, organizers of the New York Marathon were forced to ban thousands of foreign runners from taking part in the event on the 7th. Athletes from all European countries are of concern to countries in the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa, India, China and Iran.
In a press release, the organizers make that clear “International partners who are unable to travel to the United States[…] They deserve to postpone their entry into the 2022 New York Marathon. “. Disclaimed participants, however, must claim that the amount of $ 22 has been transferred to the 2022 edition between October 21 and November 3, 2021, before re-registering early next year. Any cancellations for the 2021 edition will not be refunded.
