NYC Half Marathon : Official Thread

I am so confused by the lottery. It says my registration status is "accepted" but does that refer to my registration for the lottery or for the actual race? (I haven't gotten an Email confirmation and they haven't charged my credit card yet...what gives?).

I hope I got in, but if not, good luck to you!!

Sadly, I was DENIED, but I am running the Central Park Grand Prix Half later this month.

6:20 prequalifcation pace is pretty aggressive, so that is an unlikely option for me.

I am in the same boat as swishyskirt. My status is "accepted," but no e-mail yet. I hope I got in. This is going to be my first half marathon, and will kick start my training this year.

Who wants to start running in this cold weather anyway!

hhhmmm, i hope I didn't jump the gun. Boy, would THAT be embarrasing! My"status" does say "accepted", but  I can see how that can be ambiguous. i.e. we have accepted your lottery application, but not accepted you as a runner.

If you are on facebook, become a member of NYRR (if you aren't already). A lot of folks have been posting if they were denied or accepted. One has mentioned that their credit card was charged, while another mentioned they got not one, but two rejection emails.

I figure they would have sent out a "congrats" email. I only checked because a coworker checked and was accepted as well.

Remember: there's no such thing as bad running weather. Just bad running gear!

I'm in, got the email this morning.

same here

Yes. Accepted = You're in. Got my email this morning as well.

Got my e-mail today also. Should be fun.

OMG, WHERE is my email?! lol.

I want to be all excited, but what if I'm wrong and I'm really not in? Still no E-mail, still no charge on my credit card. WHAT is the holdup??

Yay for everyone who got in! Hopefully I'll be joining y'all in March.

I'm in! No E-mail, but my credit card has been charged! Woohoo! So excited. My goal is to break my unbelievable (*snort*) PR of 1:44:33 from last year's More Half Marathon.

Time to start hitting those intervals. Ugh.

i was denied a second year in a row ..

I haven't posted here in quite some time, but I shall be racing this event. 

Looking forward to it. 

There's a Half coming up in Central Park on the 24th. Come freeze your butt off with the rest of us =)

i did this race 2 years ago and I am still cold !!

my butt was literally frozen.. and i was living 4 blocks from Central Park at the time..

my gloves were ice.. my hat was ice.. the middle 2 layers were ice.. ugh.. i just got shivers thinking about it..

I'm in. Just found out today!
Gotta up my mileage, less than 2 months to go.

I'm in!  Using it as a tune-up for Boston.

in!  new to the forums, but would love to meet some of you all at the race. 

I ran in this last summer in the brutal heat.  Moving it to March was a good idea, I believe it was in the 90's with humidity last time.

Are we ready?  It's going to be GORGEOUS!  I've had 13 days off recently due to travels, but still hunting a PR on Sunday.  Good luck, everyone!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow, see you out on the course.
