How to Qualify for
Guaranteed Entry to the 2014 New York City Marathon
Thanks for
your interest in running with us
in 2014! The application will be available after November 3, 2013, on a date to be announced—please stay tuned!
All applicants must be 18 or older on
November 2, 2014.
For the
2014 race, we will offer eligibility
for guaranteed entry to the
following groups:
·
NYRR members who meet the 9+1 or
9+$1K program requirements for guaranteed entry eligibility for the 2014 marathon
(Handcyclists seeking entry under this
provision must also be active bona fide
members of Achilles International since
October 1, 2013.)
·
Runners who
meet the time standards outlined below in an NYRR race in 2013; see provisions
for those who meet the
standard in a non-NYRR race
·
2013 entrants who cancel their entry
to the 2013 race according to the cancellation guidelines
. Entrants who cancel their
entry in consecutive years are no longer entitled
to guaranteed entry after the
second consecutive cancellation.
·
Marathoners who have finished
15 previous New York City Marathons.
We are phasing
out this means of qualifying for guaranteed entry; those who finish
their 15th New York City Marathon
after 2016 will not be eligible for guaranteed entry under this
provision.
·
Applicants who were denied
entry in the three drawings
in 2011, 2012, and 2013 and who
were not subsequently accepted via an alternative method (such as
through an International Travel
Partner, sponsor, or charity). Please note that 2014 is the last year
that guaranteed entry will be offered
under this provision.
After the 2014 application
opens, we will email those individuals known to meet one
of the above requirements. However, delivery of these emails is not guaranteed,
and all applicants are responsible for applying before
the 2014 deadline, even if they
do not receive
the reminder emails.
TIME QUALIFIERS
The time-standard qualifying window is January 1, 2013−December 31, 2013. The total
number of time-qualifier spots is to be determined. All runners who qualify

Magazine Women's Half Marathon, 2013 Brooklyn Half-Marathon, 2013 Grete's Great

entry. The remaining time-qualifier spots will be filled by a special drawing,
and those not selected will be entered into the general
non-guaranteed entry drawing. Those who meet the
time standard in a non-NYRR race will
be required to complete the non-guaranteed
entry application and submit their time

must be verifiable online).
The time qualifying standards are as
follows (runners only); all times
