==Changes to Registration Process== The Chicago Marathon made significant changes to its registration process beginning with the 2014 race. Previously, registration had been handled on a first come, first served basis.
Starting in 2014, runners could either enter a random lottery or gain guaranteed entry by running a qualifying time, raising money for a charity, traveling with an international tour operator, or as a legacy finisher.
The qualifying times were 3:15 for men and 3:45 for women. No distinctions were made for the age of the runner.<ref>[https://runningwithrock.com/history-chicago-marathons-qualifying-times/ History of the Chicago Marathon's Qualifying Times for Guaranteed Entry]</ref>
Over 70,000 runners applied for one of the 45,000 spots in the race.<ref>[https://www.chicagotribune.com/2014/04/07/71300-runners-apply-for-chicago-marathon-lottery/ 71,300 Runners Apply for Chicago Marathon Lottery] ''Chicago Tribune''. April 7, 2014.</ref>
