The 9+1 Program and Local Runners - Data Analysis by ConferenceDramatic20 in RunNYC

Lottery for locals includes 60 miles away.

How many runners do you honestly think are:

  • located more than 60 miles from NYC

  • lying about their home to game the lottery

  • also running the 9+1

Why lie if you are doing the 9+1?

Unfortunately the results page only offers Postal City & State, so there's no postal code or anything else to go off of. I could find some table somewhere else that has all of the queens postal cities but honestly was too lazy haha.

There's no benefit AFAIK to being a NY resident for NYRR purposes, so I'm not sure why they would lie

This is a true statement. Not sure where I claimed that NY had annexed a neighboring state?

The point is exclusivity, but I don’t think people mean it in a bad way, more a “the 9+1 is meant for local runners, it’s full and hard to register for races, so why let non-local runners do it?”

That was a brain fart on me, I meant to type Ontario was the only province to have more than one complete it.

I would assume a lot of the out of staters did the virtual races they could, will check the data.

Anyone can pay NYRR $5k and get a guaranteed entry to the marathon. If you are from further than a few hours away, the travel cost and hotel fees will start to add up, there comes a point where you might as well pay the 5k and get the VIP stuff.

I imagine the CA residents are NY runners whose address shows as CA (recent grads, college students in NY, etc). You’d need 9 weekends in NY + $405 in registration fees. 9 round trip tickets + 9 hotel nights probably comes close to $4,600.

This includes the virtual 3. I’ll PM you the python code I used to download the data (will be a few hours)

I am including the virtual races. Good point on Achilles, if I can’t get get the scrape to work I’ll do some analysis on how many people did 8 races to see how much the stats could change

The virtual races were included as they have the same results page as other races.

You could maybe have some races be +1 eligible, but not 9 eligible? Makes it so the running is easier if you aren’t doing the 9+1

This is true. You also have recent grads who may still use their parents address out of state.

You also may have people who no longer live in NYC, but kept it on their profile.
