As soon as I wrote the title to this post, it occurred to me that your three intrepid writers on this site have each run the NYC Marathon twice. Unreal!
Sorry to pat ourselves on the back but it is pretty mind boggling considering the number of 6am nights logged by this team.OK, back to the purpose of this post
For those of you interested in running the NYC Marathon there are three ways too gain entry:
Well I wanted to discuss option 1 and explain the quirks in the system. For eligibility for guaranteed entry to the 2009 New York City Marathon runners must become members by January 31 of 2008 to qualify for the following year’s New York City Marathon. Then run 9 races during the 2008 year.
So - for those of you thinking about running in 2009 join the NYRR by January 31st 2008 and maybe one of these will be around your neck

1Hi there,
just a quick question : How does it work with the 9 qualifying races, how many kilometres do I have to run each race (i.e. 10km or a Half Marathon).
I live in London and would like to join the NYC Marathon in 2009. I already ran 3 Marathons by the way.
Thank you so much for your answer,
kind regards,
Silvia

4I am too late for Option 1.
How about Option 3?
What is the deal to raise the charity? How does it work, if feasible?
Thanks

Men 2:55:00 1:23:00 3:10:00 1:30:00
Women 3:23:00 1:37:00 3:38:00 1:44:00
Veterans (Age 50+)** Veterans (Age 60+)**
Marathon Half-Marathon Marathon Half-Marathon
Men 3:30:00 1:40:00 3:45:00 1:48:00
Women 3:52:00 1:50:00 4:13:00 2:00:30
Veterans (Age 70+)**
Marathon Half-Marathon

33Hi i’m a 16 year old from Chicago looking to run the 2009 NYM. I haven’t run one before but i’d really like to. Are those the only three options on how to get in? It’s too late for option one, and I don’t know how easily I can raise $2,500. How does the lottery work? I ran the chicago half marathon this year and I would have qualified but I didn’t sign up to. If I qualify for the half marathon next year can I run the marathon in NY? Please let me know

35The lottery for the NYC Marathon opens in January or February on the nycmarathon.com website. It is not first-come first-serve, so you have a few months to apply. Results are then announced in June. Good luck getting in!

40I entered the lottery last year and was not selected. I plan on entering again this year. If I do not get selected yet again, I understand that you are guaranteed entry on your 3rd attempt. Is this true?

43I have tried for the lottery for years 2006, 2007 and 2008 for the NYC marathon. I was never picked to run. this is my 4rth try. I’m dying to go run this marathon. I have to fulfill this dream. My question is, if this is my 4th try and I will definitely apply again, are you sure you’re going to remember my name for the guaranteed entry?

44I ran the 2007 Boston Marathon time in a NYC qualifying time and used it for NYC in 2008. Then I heard the April 2007 Boston time would cover qualifying for the 2009 NYC as well. I heard it works in the same way a qualifying Boston time in NYC covers the next two years of Bostons. Can anyone confirm or deny?
