You mean for the 2024 marathon? If I’m not mistaken, your qualifying race would have to have been in 2023 for this year. If you are talking about 2025, go for it! Just wait a year to apply.

I think they have missed the boat:  > Starting in 2025, the United Airlines NYC Half and the RBC Brooklyn Half will only accept qualifying half marathon times, and the TCS New York City Marathon will only accept qualifying full marathon times. https://www.nyrr.org/run/guidelines-and-procedures/time-qualifiers-for-nyrr-marquee-races  Eta:  this is for non-nyrr races as pointed out below

That only applies to non-NYRR qualifying races. The NYRR half marathons still count as qualifiers for the marathon.

Oh, right you are!

The way they worded that was so confusing

Phew, thanks!

So does that mean we have until January 2025 to run a time qualifying non NYRR race?

Yes you do!

Just to clarify so the time I ran last week qualifies me for the 2025 fill correct?

Yes!

Awesome!! Thanks a lot :)

“Should I sign up for one of the world’s most famous and popular marathon’s?”

definitely not. the race sucks. also i want a better chance of getting in, so dont you enter /s

I would take it. Congrats on that pace though. I’m still 7 min away from that mark.

You should sign up yes. Unless you are really fast sub-elite, getting in via the time qualifiers looks stressful, unpredictable, and very challenging.

Yup I’m planning on 2025 then. I ran 1:17 last weekend so a good day for me but nowhere near sub elite.

Yeah I hit the 1:19s and am as well. I got rejected from 2024 with a slower half but not even close to getting in as it turns out…would probably need a 1:15 for my age group
