The New York City Marathon lottery for 2025 is now open, giving runners from around the world a chance to participate in one of the most iconic marathons. The lottery system is designed to provide a fair and equitable way to select participants, as the race consistently receives far more applications than it has available spots.

The lottery is open to runners of all ages and abilities, and no qualifying time is required.
