Who May Purchase?

Anyone who will be 18 or older on Saturday, November 4th, 2023 and is not a full time resident of the US may purchase one of our guaranteed entry packages.

Why Rates are in US Dollars

As you are traveling to the US for this package and both the hotels and the NYRR charge in US Dollars, we charge the same to avoid having to build in an exchange buffer due to the constantly changing CAD vs USD. This ends up saving you money!

You may pay using a Canadian credit card or a US currency card.

How Much is a Guaranteed Entry

It is a common misconception that a guaranteed entry fee is between US350 and US400, however, this is the estimated rate for those who win the lottery.  The actual fee for a guaranteed entry is substantially higher but under contract with the NYRR, we are not permitted to indicate the exact amount.

Don’t Wait for the Lottery Results!

Only an extremely small percentage of people will win the NYC Marathon Lottery. If you wait to see if you won before purchasing one of our packages, then we will have already sold out.  Instead of waiting, if you purchase one of our Runner’s Packages and then win the lottery in the same year then you may apply your deposit towards a hotel package! This way you are guaranteed to run and you won’t pay twice!

Packages

We will provide guaranteed entry only as part of a complete package which, at a minimum, must include 3 nights hotel. We can provide you with airfare options as well if you wish.  No Tour Operators are permitted to sell entry only.

Looking for a Roommate?

If you are looking to save some money and have Dream Travel try and find you a same-sex roommate, please indicate this at the time of registration.  Although this is not a guaranteed service, we tend to find roommates for most people that book earlier.

After You Apply

After you apply Dream Travel will contact you to complete your registration process via the email address you provided. You must ensure that your email address is correct and you are responsible for monitoring it closely as Dream Travel will contact with everyone via email.

Cancellation Policy

As the NYRR does not refund or defer guaranteed entries, our policy is that there are no refunds, cancellations or deferring for our packages. For this reason we highly recommend travel insurance.

Insurance

Each year we have many people cancel due to unforeseen circumstances who did not purchase our travel insurance meaning they end up losing their package amount.  Under no circumstances does the NYRR permit postponing your marathon if you need to cancel so protect yourself and your money by purchasing our Group Insurance through ManuLife.

With our insurance you will be able to cancel for insurable reasons as well as running injuries while training and we also sell a Cancel For Any Reason policy!  We offer various other insurance packages including Cancellation, Interruption, Medical and Baggage. For full details on coverage, please click here: Manulife Financial.

If you receive a message saying the site is down, please use a different web browser or platform.

Please note that the insurance coverage that you may have on your credit card will not cover you completely! We are unable to process insurance for those living in Quebec – please contact your local travel agency for coverage.

Not Included with your Package

Travel insurance, airfare, meals and items of a personal nature are not included in your package.

Late Fees

Neither the NYRR nor the hotels in Manhattan will accept late payments from Dream Travel under any circumstance.  That said, we must have your final payment in by the deadline, else we have to charge the following late fees:
-$50 for those that make their final payment between July 2 and July 12, 2023
-$100 for those that make their final payment between July 12 and July 31, 2023
Those that do not pay by July 31, 2023 may lose their package and deposit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you book my flights for me?
Anyone who purchases one of our packages for the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon can contact Yumi at Travel Best Bets 1 877 523 7823 ext 122 or [email protected] to have their flights booked.

May I fundraise for this event and travel for free?
You absolutely can although it’s not required. We work with both Crohn’s and Colitis Canada and the MS Society of Canada. Contact us for more information on how you can run this event for free!

How much do I need to fundraise?
If you choose to fundraise for your package, you will need to fundraise roughly three times the cost of your package to meet Canadian law.

When do I have to have my fundraising completed by?
As we understand that it takes time to fundraise, the deadline to raise the full amount won’t be until October 15, 2022.

What are the minimum three nights we have to stay?
You may stay any three nights although the majority of the group will stay Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights in order to get to the expo and so that you won’t have to check out prior to running the marathon.

Can I stay at a different hotel?
We have contracts with the hotels listed on our website therefore we are unable to offer different properties.

Are these prices in CAD or USD?
US Dollars.

Are there transfers from the airport to the hotel?
Although transfers are not included, transportation from any of the four airports servicing NYC is as little as $23USD per person per direction for shuttle service

Do you have triple and quadruple rates?
We do, please inquire with Dream Travel for exact rates based on your needs.

What’s the weather like?
Average November temperatures in NYC float around +12 degrees Celsius. However, it is not uncommon to be freezing in the mornings and as high as +20 during the days. However, due to the lack of sunlight in Manhattan (because of the tall buildings) expect cooler weather.

I’m traveling solo – can you assist me with finding a roommate to save money?
Dream Travel will assist you in finding a same-sex roommate but we can’t guarantee that we can find you someone. That said, typically anyone who registers prior to July is matched up and the earlier you register the better the odds.

I see transportation is included to the start line on race day morning. What are my choices?
Transportation will be provided from Bryant Park (via bus) and from the Whitehall Ferry Terminal (via ferry) and runners will be given specific and individual departure time choices based on the estimated marathon completion time that they enter during official race registration via the NYRR.

Is there shelter available around the start area?
There are open tents that will keep the rain off, however wind will still blow through. Therefore we highly suggest wearing old warm clothing over your running gear, to Staten Island, which you can discard before the start of the race. Volunteers will pick up discarded clothing and distribute it among New York’s homeless population
