New York marathon 2019

Limpy

Applications are open for ballot and limited GFA.

Has anybody applied. The website crashed a few times not even sure if I applied properly.

Says $0 on the price section. Does that mean nothing now untill entry (if) accepted. Or should it say the entry fee?

DC.

I applied through GFA. You won’t be charged anything until you are guaranteed your entry that’s why it’s coming up as $0.00.

Hopefully find out soon enough.

I entered too. IF I got a place for 2019, can you defer to 2020 or do you have to take it this year?

I didn't get a to apply until an hour after Reg opened due to the website crashing. A real disaster but fingers crossed.

It is open for a month so you should be fine. I dont think your chances are less on the 14th Feb than they are today.

Not sure that is the case for Good for age. Limited spaces mean first come first serve untill times are verified and spots are full.

Youll be grand. If you have the GFA you’ll get in, unless theres a huge increase in qualified applicants, which is unlikely. The race has huge capacity.

Unless things have changed - yes …. BUT you have to fork over the entry fee again :eek:

Me too

Lottery results due out today I think?

Doesn't really suit me to get it this year, but couldn't turn it down if my name comes out.

Looks like the charge is pending on my CC

Will have to defer though cause I'm already doing Boston and London

No joy for me but happy enough as it wouldn't really have suited.

Anyone know of any travel agencies who would sell entry onlys or would they insist on their full packages?

They usually have a package only otherwise they couldn't justify the price they charge you for the entry.

You could probably get a charity entry but that may be a package to. Depending on how much you need to collect for the said charity.

They won't sell entry only. You could possibly get accommodation and entry. I did that a few years ago with Sports travel as I lined up some work travel with marathon weekend so didn't need to include flights. I think it's 3 nights minimum for NY hotel with them- nice hotel though.

Yeah unfortunately, they really know how to rip off people with regards to it
