I qualified for the 2018 NYC Marathon both with 2017 Chicago Marathon and another half marathon. I applied last Monday when Registration opened. Still no word from NYRR for me. Has anyone else received their acceptance to the NYC Marathon using a non-NYRR time qualifier? Should I contact NYRR? Thanks for any info!
No, not yet. I don't think you need to worry, they say right on the website that it should take at least a couple weeks to verify all the entries.
I actually emailed them back and forth a couple times in late 2017 because I was confused about something. Almost out of the blue, they kindly emailed me at the beginning of 2018 to remind me to check the webpage because the race registration process would open soon. So I submitted my registration and haven't heard back from them, but I'm not worried about it.
Worst case, they make a mistake and put me in the lottery.
