 In order to participate in the race, runners can either apply for
guaranteed entry or enter into a lottery. Guaranteed entry
applications come in several forms. Legacy finishers are those
who have finished the Chicago Marathon at least five times in
the last 10 years. Time qualifiers are runners who have
completed a marathon under a certain time: 3:15 for men and
3:45 for women. Runners who were selected to run in the
2015 marathon but had to defer also gain automatic entry into
the 2016 race. Additionally, the Chicago Marathon works with
charity program runners and international tour group program
runners.
