That leaves out 3,161 runners out of 27,288 who applied for the race next April.

If space remains in the field—as it did this year—registration continues the following Monday for all runners who had met their time standard. Some who made last-minute qualifying attempts at marathons on September 14 and 15 were able to register with times earned at those races.
