So a few weeks back I posted something about Marathon Spot Allocation.
We have officially been awarded FIVE team spots for this year’s NYC Marathon– the most you can get as a team! However, I was notified after-the-fact that the spots are supposed to go *only* to people who entered this year’s lottery and were rejected.
But, I’m always trying to pull one for the team, and it should work out that we can get ONE “wild card” slot that could go to either someone who entered the lottery or someone who did not.
NBR Marathon Spot Allocation “Applications” are due by Monday, June 7th, 11:59pm!
Spots will be allocated by June 15th.
Here’s what to Include:
1. Must prove yourself to be an active member of NBR: group runs, meetings, other events. Also indicate if you entered this year’s lottery or not, and if you’ve run the NYC Marathon before.
2. Must contribute to NBR: volunteer at events, be a run leader or help the group in other ways.
3. Express yourself creatively as to why you want to do the NYC Marathon this year (in writing, video, music, photography, food, etc.) and include a short description.
Please submit your applications and address any concerns or questions to Aja.
Hi Team!
Many of you know by now that by doing Team Volunteering at NYRR Races
(next up: Brooklyn Half– we could still use some people, so please sign up) earns us (3-5) team spots into this year’s NYC Marathon.
We haven’t “officially” been given any spots *yet*, but hopefully we will in the upcoming weeks. But who gets to run those spots at the Town Hall meeting last month we discussed how NBRs might be able to get one of the coveted spots. Here’s what allocation within NBR is looking like…
NBR Marathon Spot Allocation:
1. Must prove yourself to be an active member of NBR: group runs, meetings, other events
2. Must contribute to NBR: volunteer at events, be a run leader or help the group in other ways
3. Express yourself creatively as to why you want to do the NYC Marathon this year (in writing, video, music, photography, food, etc.) and include a short description.
- Applications due June 7th. Spots allocated by June 15th.
Other Allocation Ideas: lottery and/or weighted lottery based on NBR participation, contests, etc.
If you have ideas for how allocation should be designed, please email me off-list.
Thanks!

Whether you are a member who’s injured, have never come on a run, didn’t get into the NYC Half, or just love muffins… COME VOLUNTEER AND JOIN US AT THE NBR WATER STATION at the NYC Half on the 21st! It’s going to be a blast, mixing up gatorade and screaming for thousands of runners (and a couple dozen of our own) in Central Park on the first Sunday of Spring.
Mary has promised to bring her world-famous PB+J muffins for all of the volunteers but ONLY if we can get at least 25 people!
So far we have about 10.
You DO NOT have to be a runner– so coerce your roommates, significant others, friends who owe you favors, students, and family members to come join us.
This team volunteering opportunity is one of two parts to help us get 2-4 spots for some of our members in THIS YEAR’S NYC Marathon!
Do NOT sign up through NYRR, please sign up here: http://tinyurl.com/nbrvolunteers or email us — I am submitting a list to NYRR.
SIGN UP BY MONDAY 3/15!
NBR <3,
Aja
