New York Road Runners is requiring Athletes With Disabilities (AWDs) to submit the names and email addresses of the individual(s) who will be guiding them on the marathon course. Unless you regularly run with an athlete who is doing the NYC Marathon, chances of being selected to guide are slim.
However, Achilles AWDs coming to New York from out of town may request a guide recommendation. Therefore we are gathering information from those interested in guiding an Achilles AWD in the 2019 NYC Marathon right here, right now.
In completing this form and submitting, you understand that:
* there is no certainty you will be recommended to guide
* you MUST be able to complete a full marathon distance
* if you are recommended to guide, you will be put in touch with an Achilles athlete or caregiver, who will ultimately make the call.
COMPLETE ONLY IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN INVITED BY AN ACHILLES ATHLETE TO GUIDE THEM IN THE MARATHON!!!! If you are uncertain whether you need to complete this, call Ellie at 212-354-0300 or email
