Apparently NYRR race registration for the first three months of the year will open on Dec. 15.
NYRR will accept 6,500 runners for the "capped" races, figuring that no-shows will bring the count down to 5,000.
Will March races close out that day? Doubtful. But if you're doing the 9+1 strategy to get into NYRR Marathon, it's worth keeping this in mind. I seem to recall one of the articles - it may have been the NYTimes -- that said 10 of 27 races last year crossed the threshold.
Meanwhile, keep in mind that there are hundreds of other races in the Greater New York/New Jersey/Long Island area. And while the New York Marathon is admittedly special, you don't have to commit your running life to Central Park.
