Here is the disappointing news from New York:
The policy states that a runner must be denied 3 entry consecutive years, without entering these marathons through another means such as a charity. You were denied entry in 2010 and 2011, but you were accepted in 2012, so you are no longer eligible for guaranteed entry through the denied 3 times program. I am sorry.
As was stated on the website, this program is being phased out. The last year to enter the program was 2011.
So it looks like I’ll pick some different options for 2013…
