I could be wrong, but I think they assign the bib numbers based on "Your fastest full marathon time in the last 3 years", which was a question on the entry form.

I think they assign your coral on the projected time you put on the entery form. Which always changes so much from the time you put in on the form.

I think they assign as Josse said, by your projected finish time. I think if you have an elite number someone from the marathon calls and lets you know. I think for women this year the cutoff is 2:59 (thats what Michelle told me, did I get that right Michelle?)

For entry into the elite corral (which is different than an elite runner) the cutoff is slower. In 2005, I got in with a projected time of 3:15. |

Thats great, I didnt know there was a difference between the two. So we should all be able to meet up in the elite corral.

2:59 as a projected finish is what they told me for a cut off. I assume they have different standards for men and women for elite status.

I wonder if you are referring to the "elite runner" status as opposed to the elite (or front) corral. I just sent them an email about it . . .
Update hopefully coming tomorrow on this!

Here is the official response: From: Carlene Baron-Garrick

Subject: RE: question about front corral
Hi – if you put your projected finish time down at under 3:16, you will be able to start in the last elite runner corral. So we're on! Everyone meet in the last elite runner corral! Also, I just talked to Steve, and he has some singlets that are coming in the week of the marathon, and they will be going to print as soon as he gets them. I plan on getting a singlet to run in - if anyone else is going to be running in a singlet, that will just make everyone that much easier to find. |

Unless it is cold and everyone is wearing long sleeves (this is the weather we are hoping for). We'll just have to pull up our long sleeves and "FLASH" our blog singlets like exotic birds doing mating dances. Should be interesting  |

Ah, I ran last year in shorts and a singlet and was fine with just a pair of cheap gloves (which I tossed at mile 19). I just took off my warmups shortly before the clothing drop truck left. And as I recall, starting temperature last year was right about 40 degrees . . .

I'm interested in picking up a singlet and running in it myself. Will St George running center be at the expo, or should I stop by the store?

And he will have singlets at the expo? I am not sure if I will need a medium or large and want to make sure that I will be able to get one. Any way to ensure there is some set aside for us bloggers who are running?

James I would just call him at the store and ask him to set some aside for you and what size.
