Lottery opened up today. Maybe my 4th entry will be the lucky charm.

my annual reminder, your bank account will get hit before you get notified via email if you want to know the second you are selected.

There's a handful of people on twitter that have said their bank accounts have been charged. Nothing for me yet.

No kidding. This is my 5th entry via lottery and it doesn't look like I'll be dining at Thistle Hill Tavern in the fall.

Yeah this is my 4th lottery attempt. Still holding out hope.

the positive is it will save you A LOT of money.

i'm glad i ran it when i lived up there. Not sure I'd travel to do the race, solely based on what it would cost. Could do so much more with that money.

That said, its easy for me to say since I've already run it. Its an amazing race. Top 7 or 8 running experiences of my life. Definitely top 3 road race I've done behind Comrades and Boston.

Bro-in-law got in last year. He said his plastic didn't get run until 3:00 pm MST. So, maybe there is still hope. Fingers crossed.

Ya, but I'd rather spend a couple of k on something I can reflect on while I draw my last few breaths than buy a new 4k tv.

Me too. I was referring to travel and other races. Wife and I value experiences over material things, but that's a whole other thread.

Cheers to that. I've never been to NYC and my wife and I are both runners longing for NYC, so this is worth whatever it costs. Possessions break, get stolen, or end up just taking space.
AggieOO
How long do you want to ignore this user?
completely understandable. like i said, its easy for me to say since I lived there for 6.5 years and have run the race. I also bypassed the lottery due to knowing people at NYRR.

Again, one of my favorite races, probably completely worth it for someone in your situation.

Well guess I'll accept that I probably didn't get in again. Just want to run the thing one damn time. Time to see if I go 0-8 in lottery drawings with Marine Corps later this month

AggieOO - still know NYRR people? do they frequent a certain bar? I may need to start socializing....

everyone i know that worked there has long since left. I've been back in texas for 5 years now. sorry.

i'm surprised you don't do the 9+1 or whatever they are calling their "do a bunch of races and be our indentured servant guaranteed entry" these days. Or did they end that program?

Still have it. I've done NYC twice and would still do it...but dont want it badly enough to volunteer and run 9 of their races. I prefer trail and their prices are a little steep.

Oh well. Now I can start planning the Fall calendar without having the uncertainty of NYC.

Ah, the Aggie motto: "Next year."

Congrats to any of you that made it in. I'm going the charity route next year if I don't get in via lottery.

Both the so and I have been rejected once, we are gonna try and time qualify instead of doing the lotto again. Also wish lotto races allowed group entries.
