I'm part of the small percentage that didn't get selected. I was looking forward to running it again along with my husband for his first time and a big crew from my family. If anyone hears of an available bib, I'll take it! Transfers open up 3/1
I think there is something shady going on. I know 10 people so far that did not get in. Friends, not "running" friends. Last year there no one I knew who didn't make it. This year, I'd say the majority of my friends who wanted to didn't get in. It's just odd.
I'm so bummed! I regret not doing it through a charity this year but last year it seemed like everyone I knew got in. I can still do it but at this point I'm afraid I won't have the time to raise the money needed
I'm flying from SF to philly for it (Philly is my hometown). My sister and I got in- and I'm so excited, I've wanted to run the bsr for years now, but it's hard not living there anymore.

I will definitely let you know if I hear of any available bibs. I feel like there are always people who sign up on a whim and then decide not to run it. I've ran it the past 5 years, but I will be out of town for a wedding this year during that weekend, so I didn't enter the lottery. I'm really sad I'm missing it. It's without a doubt my favorite race!
