The lottery for this year's New York City Marathon will take place tomorrow, March 3, when applicants will find out if they have been accepted to take on the five-borough race on November 1.

Due to a variety of factors, more runners will be accepted through the lottery program, says Chris Weiller, New York Road Runners vice president of media and public relations.

Here's a quick breakdown of the statistics surrounding the lottery:

14,326: The number of applicants whose entries will be accepted from a total of 80,080 lottery entrants. Last year, about 9,250 runners gained entry from a pool of 77,087 lottery applicants.

55: The percent increase in the number of runners accepted over last year.

18: Percentage of the lottery pool that will earn entries this year. In 2014, it was 12 percent.

3,541: The number of runners who earned automatic entries through time qualification standards. In 2014, 1,750 runners entered. Weiller credits this increase in applicants to the relaxed standards implemented for the 2015 race.

1,400: The number of runners who accepted their deferred entry from the canceled race in 2012. This is the last year runners will be able to fulfill those entries.

Weiller says all lottery applicants will be notified about their entry status via email and on their NYRR profile throughout the day. The marathon's charity program will also open up on March 3, where runners can apply to participate through one of the nearly 300 programs available.
