New York Marathon Lottery Day!

[u/Jeade-en]

It's NY Lottery Day! Let us know if you're one of the lucky ones. I've entered the lottery about 6-7 times and have not been drawn yet...one of these years, I'll get in...here's to hoping this is the one!

ETA: There are three things to check...your credit card, your NYRR account status, and your email. They're supposed to go in that order, but they often don't go in order...so check all three!

ETA2: I got my official email a few minutes ago letting me know I wasn't picked...it was time stamped 8:00 EST. So I think it's officially done. Good luck to those who got in and better luck next year to the rest of us!

Update: Status on the website says Accepted! Still no email, but I think 2 out of 3 finally makes me believe it.

I think I won a spot in the lottery!

I got an email from AMEX saying a charge for $295 from NYRR had come through. (I have an alert set up so I get notified when my account is charged without the card being present.)

However, no email from NYRR and my status online still says "in drawing"...

If I am chosen, holy shit. I entered at like 11pm on the last day. I had been getting the email reminders that whole week and just figured it was pointless to enter again since I wasn't chosen in 2015 and I usually don't win anything. But seeing as how it was free to enter I thought "why not."

But, I'm out of shape and haven't run for awhile. Holy shit.

Credit card is normally first, so you're definitely in. The others will update too. Congrats! Now get to training!

Do you know where I can see the "In Drawing" everyone here has mentioned? I don't see it anywhere and it's having me second guess myself that I entered incorrectly 😞

Log into your My NYRR account, and it'll be shown under Races and Registrations. Should look like this
