#eligibility-requirements

A non-binary runner won the non-binary race category of the New York City Marathon but was deemed ineligible for the prize money that is supposed to come with the title.

The runner reached out to the New York Road Runners (NYRR) and was told that they did not meet the eligibility requirements for the prize money.

The marathon required runners to complete six specific races in the year leading up to the marathon, a rule that was not posted until three months after the non-binary runner registered. [ more ]
