I have run it three times. I ran it to qualify for Boston, twice. Yes it is a lottery, but if you can register as a group it is almost a gurantee to get in. I think it is getting harder now. I think they only take 6700 runners. about 6200 will actually show on race day. Let me know if you decide to register.. I think you have the entire month of April to register and then you find out the first week in May if you get in.
