Editor's note: If you click on the link and go to the comments, you'll see after a fan asked if he'd be running the NY marathon, see Zane Robertson says, "New York marathon wants Americans, my Brother and I were denied entry ?"
They can still run thru a charity bib!
That's not really how these things work. What he should have said was "We were denied entry (with our stipulation that they cover travel and lodging expenses and pay us an appearance fee)". As a sub elite no where near the caliber of runner as them, I can get into most any race I want to in the world if I say, "I don't need anything, I just want to run the race." Elite directors will at least give me a general field entry.
Where did you get that they were denied entry from this instagram post?

It's in the comments if you scroll down on the instagram page. NY puts out too much money to try to have a race filled with former champs and top tier Americans. It is not surprising that they would be out of cash and not interested in Zane and Jake. Zane is coming back from injury and has not been able to get back to his form when he blasted a sub 60 half in 2015. Jake is looked very solid but has committed to running Toronto.
Stupid. This is why NY is losing viewership. I have no intention of watching NYC, and there is nothing that will really draw me to it. If one of the Robertson's ran it then maybe I would.
Keitany--best in world
Vivian--2nd best in world
Shalane--defending champ deserves one more pay day
Desi--Her freaky day in Boston saved her career and now has earned the right to fail
Molly--NY wants to be there when she figures out the marathon
Lagat--much like Bob Kennedy in 2000 an expensive side show
That is a lot of money right there.
...why?

Lol
People would rather see Lebron James and Taylor Swift run than the best runners in the World. Face it, the vast majority of the 40,000 runners in New York have no idea who the Robertson twins are.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PERFORMANCE.
I know an even bigger name in the sport that also wasn't offered a contract this year.

Haha yes! This is Letsruns version of the anti-nfl people!
“Stupid. This is why the NFL is losing viewership. I have no intention of watching the NFL, and there is nothing that will really draw me to it. If the players stood up, then maybe I would.”
Yet they continue to comment on every NFL or NY post ?

Thanks, the coverage will come in a little better without you watching.
Classic Robertson move. This "rejection" will feed the inferiority complex off which they feed.
Although you can't have a inferiority complex if you keep trouncing the competition...it's more like a superiority complex.

They need to trounce the competition in reasonably important races.
If he really wanted to run NY couldn't he enter and pay his way like the average folk?

All right. As an identical twin, I may have my first charity case.
How much does he want to run NYC? Should we crowd fund him? How cool would it be if we buy him a charity bib and crowd fund it his appearance fee with a lead donation by LRC?
I wan thim wearing the LRC singlet, however. We'll rip that puma logo off it and put adidas on it. Do we know if he's the younger or odler twin? If he's the younger twin, I'll agree to coach him as well.

Brojos You could make this happen right now! The whole storyline is great for the site and it will get Zane to the start line. Partner with your guys from RW to document this whole process into reality
Finally something of value by LetsRun. I’m in for $200 if you get it going.
