Changes to Qualifying Times for Guaranteed Entry In 2001, general qualifying times were added to allow a portion of the fastest amateur runners to earn guaranteed entry into the race. The following year, additional categories were added to include more realistic qualifying times for runners 50-59 and 60+. Those qualifying times would remain the same for several years.

In 2005, those qualifying times were modified and made more lenient across the board. Five minutes were added to each of the men's marathon qualifying times and three minutes were added to each of the women's marathon qualifying times. The half marathon qualifying times were also increased by several minutes.
