URR - Sports Tours are full I believe. Check the website but I'm sure I noticed entries were closed recently. Just waiting to get my entry confirmed, STI don't seem to be very speedy.
We have space available through our charity tie ups - there is a list of 22 charities holding space on our website at www.209events.com. Other than the charity spaces we are full.
I'm still waiting for entry confirmation from STI as well. I recall you saying that you are on the same itinery as me (5 days coming back on the Tuesday. We will have to arrange to do a few warm up runs along the aisles during the flight (avoiding hostess trolleys of course!),
Can't say that we are on the same flight but our itineraries were v similar. I will be wearing a red rose in my buttonhole and carrying a rolled up copy og the New York Times under my arm!
Looking forward to it already? Are you doing any marathons before NY?
I have a ballot entry - but it dates back to 2003 ( I deferred because I was pregnant and then again because I'd not long had the baby) I do plan to run this year!!
I had considered running a Spring marathon as I seem to be running reasonably well (for me) at the moment. A few weeks ago I completed the Gloucester 20 in 2 hours 29 mins which I was happy with. However, I have decided to wait until the NYC for my first marathon of the year (I guess you could say that I'm saving myself!) Will probably run "Man Verses Horse" (22 miles multi terrain) during the Summer.
What are everyone elses plans? When are you going to start "properly training" for the NYC?
I'm entered for the Copenhagen Marathon 22 May and then will take it from there. Will probably run a summer marathon, maybe New Forest (did the half last year and enjoyed the set-up, might be a bit close to NY but I'll see how it goes.
Keep in touch everyone, we should have a substantial thread by November!
The Rosemere Cancer Foundation, Royal Preston has entries for charity runners. Run for Free, raise £750 for Free flight & Entry, raise £1500 for entry, accommodation & flight. Tel Ron 01772-523598
Good luck to all on the ballot. Last year 4 of my friends (2 US based, 2 overseas) entered on the ballot - 2 got in. 50% ain't a bad rate if that survey was accurate!!

Anyone seen their name on the entrant database yet on the ING NY Marathon website? Not me thats for sure, I don't think Sports Tours are what you would call fast workers......it must be over 2 months since I completed the entry form and paid the entry fee.
I think if i am right that your names do not go on the database untill late August or even September.Defintly after they have done the ballot, somebody correct me if i am wrong
As far as I remember it works a bit different if you go via an accredited tour operator (SportsTours and 2:09 Events). The operators have already a number of guaranted places. Likely the NYCC has a different deadline to submit the details of all the runners.
padma from people i have spoken too about 50% get in , me and another club runner have entered via the ballot so i`m keeping my fingers crossed that its me, because he won the london marathon club place

Really looking forward to NYC 2005, especially after I had to drop out of FLM 2005. I always do well in NYC so I am less worried.
