Entries for the 2012 New York City Marathon opened last Monday and they received 22,795 applications in the first 10 hours, surpassing last year’s total for the first 24 hours. This is despite the fact that international applicants, if accepted, will now pay an eye watering $347, up from $281 in 2011.
Approximately 10 to 12 percent of the entrants are selected through the lottery, which runs through April 23. Other runners are guaranteed spots based on qualifying times, club memberships and past participation.
More details on the price rises in
an earlier post.
