Introduction of New Age Groups for Time Qualification
In 2001, the New York City Marathon expanded its qualifying times for guaranteed entry. The new qualifying times were less strict, and they also included an option for qualifying with a half marathon time. However, the only two age groups were under 40 and masters (40 and over).
In 2002, two new categories were added for "veteran" runners - 50-59 and 60 and over. These new qualifying times effectively expanded access to the race for older runners.Rock Brian 2025-05-29 The History of the New York City Marathon Qualifying Times https://runningwithrock.com/history-nyc-marathon-qualifying-times/ 2025-06-02 Running with Rock en-US
