New York Road Runners CEO Mary Wittenberg is set to address the upcoming changes to the organization's 9+1 Program, a key initiative that has helped countless runners qualify for the prestigious New York City Marathon. For over two decades, the program has allowed participants to earn a guaranteed entry into the marathon by completing nine NYC-area road races and volunteering for one event within a set timeframe. However, it appears that the program is undergoing a significant overhaul, sparking concerns among runners who have come to rely on the initiative as a primary means of securing a spot in the highly competitive marathon. As the changes take effect, Wittenberg will provide insight into what runners can expect from the revamped program.
