    I notice that for next year there are a range of qualifying times that will guarantee entry. For my age category the time is 3:25.

    My PB is 3:26. B*******s. I'll probably enter the lottery in any case!

    In 2018, we will be implementing age and gender standards to our time qualifier entry application. If you meet the marathon qualifying standards outlined below you can guarantee your spot in the 2018 Bank of America Chicago Marathon as a time qualifier.

    Age group Men Women
    16 – 29 3:10:00 3:40:00
    30 – 39 3:15:00 3:45:00
    40 – 49 3:25:00 3:55:00
    50 – 59 3:40:00 4:15:00
    60 – 69 4:00:00 4:55:00
    70 – 79 4:30:00 5:45:00
    80 and over 5:10:00 6:30:00
    Marathon finish times outside of the qualifying standards will not be considered.
    Times run prior to January 1, 2016 will not be considered.
    Finish times at race distances other than a marathon, such as a half marathon or 50K will not be considered.
    A verifiable time is one run on a certified course, those certified by USA Track & Field (USATF) or a similar governing association; considerations will not be made for non-certified races, weather or course conditions.
    The qualifying time is based upon each athlete’s age on the date of the 2018 Bank of America Chicago Marathon (October 7, 2018)
