Thanks! My entry is in. Fingers crossed. Need to increase my POT buffer to more than 30 seconds from the cutoff.

Good luck to all who enter!

Mwahahaha.

You know I entered last night! I'm extra-excited because my former HS-cross-country-runner son just moved to Philly this weekend and he let me register him too! Hope we get in. Thanks for starting this thread. Let's pray for no rain this year (for once).

is anyone else here a Broad Street tenured runner? I’ve done it every year since 2012 so I get guaranteed entry, but I have not received an e-mail reminder since ‘24. I realized a few days ago that registration was probably open and I was able to register using the tenured runner button on the site. Last year, however, I missed registration. I emailed them a few weeks after it had closed and told them I never received any notification. They were kind enough to allow me to register. I had a similar experience with registering for the ‘21 Dopey. I never received my Perfect Dopey link. After contacting rD they allowed me to register, but they ended up canceling the races for that year anyway. Anyone else not receiving Broad Street correspondence?

Definitely not tenured - just ran my first one last year and hoping to run it again this year. I haven't had any issues getting communications - pretty sure I got at least 2 reminders about the lottery opening date.

Was just coming on here to wish everyone who entered the lottery good luck this week! May the lottery gods smile on all of us!

i was not able to run last year due to injury but was able to defer my entry, so the good news for me is I get to bypass the lottery.

Hope to see you all there! As someone said may the odds be ever in your favor!

Not tenured (yet, this will be year 9 for me), but I got emails regarding the lottery on Jan 29th and Feb 1st.

It looks like the Feb 1st email had the instructions for tenured runners grouped in with the regular registration. Did you receive these emails?

I didn’t receive anything. I just went back and did a search through my inbox and spam folders and there was nothing.

In that case, after you double check it didn't get sorted into a promotions/social folder (I'vehad sneaky ones not turn up in search), have you tried resigning up your email? https://www.broadstreetrun.com/contact/

Scroll to the bottom and just select the Broad Street run email category.
