The ING New York City Marathon has a lottery for who gets to run. The results are now available (as of about noon this morning) and can be searched at their website:
The lottery has sifted through more than 98,000 applicants from around the world to select the entrants to the ING New York City Marathon 2007. Check our entrant database to find out where you’ll be come November 4.
Congratulations to everybody who got into the race!
If you didn’t make it, you can still get a bib by raising money for charity. You will need to raise a minimum of $2500. There may or may not be any guarenteed entries still available for Fred’s Team depending upon who made it through the lottery, but there are still some slots open (as of June 12th) for Team for Kids. You can also search their full list of charity partners to see if there is somebody that you would like to raise money for.
Yup. Little sis didn’t make it in. Too bad. She’ll have to settle for helping me volunteer Ironman Florida 08.
Sorry to hear that Wes; is she up for some fund raising?
I am interested to know if you are publishing an age group listing. I would like to know how many runners are entered in the 75 to 79 2007 female group.
Thank You, Helen Anderson
Helen,
I don’t know if they publish any of those statistics ahead of time, but last year there were two women in that age group that finished, and in 2005 there were 4 women in that age group to finish. There were a bit over 20 female finishers in the 70-74 category both years.
