Those who have completed 15 or more New York City Marathons.

Those who have applied but been denied entry for the last three years in a row

Constantine, it’s actually tougher to get into NYC as a 56 year old in the marathon distance than for Boston. NYC is 3:30 while Boston is 3:45. I’ve heard so many complaints about Boston and their tough standards. I was able to get into NYC on a half marathon time in 2005 because my marathon time was :09 over the limit!

Wayne, I was also a little bit surprised to find the qualification time for NYC marathon is higher than for Boston. I guess it’s because NYC marathon receives more applications than Boston.
