Does the non-binary winner get the same prize money as the male/female?
I believe so, in addition to time bonuses for a pretty modest time (at least for a strong male competitor, like sub-1:15 in the half, plus another bonus for breaking the course record, which was 1:16). You can find it by scrolling sufficiently on this page:
I both care, and don't care. So I guess I'm non-binary.
On the one hand, I don't care because at least the males aren't competing in the female category, and they get to crush (for the most part) females who chose to enter the non-binary division, rather than females whose division was invaded by males against their choice.
On the other, I do care because this is just another way for males to take most of the prize money at road races; money that could be used to increase the male and female prize purses and (therefore) the amount that females could take home. But in the NYRR's favor, it's their race and they can do with the money what they want, and if females don't care enough to raise hell about it, should I (not a female)?
I am pretty sure the 'winner' did it as either a joke to make a point and to collect some cash. Everyone should do this. Flood the category at least until they stop offering equal prize money. Any it can be a trans at their will. Nikki says some days she just feels like a dude. Just not on a race day.
I think this is correct. All results I see for him list him as a male. I hope this is the case and he continues to enter races as "male" when there is no prize money and "non-binary" any time money is available. Just keep cleaning house. I'd like to see how long it takes for the non-binary people to start complaining.
Going by Nikki Hiltz's comment about "sometimes I feel like a female and sometimes I feel like a male," this guy can change at will. If anyone tries to argue that this is not possible and they need to enter as "non-binary" all the time, then they are essentially saying that "non-binary" does not exist and the whole category should be eliminated.
Whatever a kids name is is what they are, just that simple. Your parents named you Mike so guess what?
These sissies ought to be ashamed of themselves. They can't compete against real men so they have to be pansies and compete against the women. Just pitiful.
5 wannabe runners that are insecure enough to just accept the place they are as males but feel the need to get a “trophy” which means squat to boost their fragile ego. That’s ALL it is. And it’s disgusting!!
So first you guys complain that NB athletes should have their own category, and then when they get one, you complain because you don’t like the winner?
Bring back the weight classes! Obviously you won’t see a 120 pound person regardless of sex or gender step into the boxing ring to take on Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury. Why should I have to compete against “people” who don’t even weigh half as much as me. I want equal prize money for Masters Clydesdales.

it is unfair
you should have your own category
Age and weight are way more relevant in performance then your gender preference.
I don’t believe that any 200 pound+ person has ever run 2H14 (or faster) for the marathon. So I would argue that weight is even more important than sex for athletic performance.

They can cry about that on a pillow full of prize money.
This insanity is a great distraction for the institution to keep it's prey/sheep busy/distracted while they continue to oppress, groom and manipulate. It's also great for the media entities who run constant stories on it that people can not help but pay attention to and generate subsequent revenue. The biggest victim will be biological female athletes that will be indignities, humiliated, oppressed, cheated. This is pretty ironic since women are generally given the easy mode pass through life. It is definitely unfair and oppressive though. Do the agenda pushers actually lack the intelligence to believe that bio men should compete against women or is it all just for whatever agenda they benefit from? I'd guess that less than 10% are dumb/ignorant enough to believe in this crap. Rest of it is pure agenda.

Best logical fallacy I've seen in a long time. You may as well say "I don't believe anyone wearing green shoes has ever run 2hr14, therefore shoe colour is more important than sex for athletic performance". Or put another way...who is capable of the fastest marathon time, the fastest 200lb man or the fastest 200lb woman?

I would guess that neither the 200 lb man nor the 200 lb woman is capable of the fastest marathon time. The fastest marathon time was run by a man who weighs about half that much.
