Frequently Asked Questions
When does registration open for the major marathons?
It varies by race and is listed per event above — Chicago's lottery runs mid-October to mid-November, New York's opens in February, and Boston's qualifier window in September. Use the lottery and opening-soon sections to see each verified window, then subscribe to be emailed the moment a specific race opens.
What's the difference between a lottery and first-come registration?
A lottery draws entrants at random after a fixed application window, so applying early gives no advantage; first-come races sell places in order until they fill. Chicago, New York, London, Berlin and Tokyo run lotteries or ballots, while most road races are first-come — each race here is badged accordingly.
Which marathons still have registration open right now?
The Open now and Closing soon sections list every race with a currently open registration window, with the nearest deadline first. Follow any race to its detail page for the official entry link and current price.
How do I enter a marathon that's already sold out?
Many sold-out races keep a waitlist or offer guaranteed charity places — each is flagged in the Sold out section with its alternative path. Open the race for the official route, or subscribe to be alerted when its next-year registration opens.
Can US runners enter Tokyo, Berlin or London?
Yes — all three run international lotteries or ballots that anyone can enter, listed under International lotteries & ballots with their draw dates. Tokyo's 2027 general lottery opens August 14, 2026; the Berlin and London ballots typically open right after each year's race.
How current is this calendar?
It rebuilds every day, and every registration window shown is verified by hand against the official race site — never scraped, guessed, or projected. Races whose next window hasn't been announced are listed at the bottom with facts only, so you always know where a date comes from.
