If NYC Says No….Mizuno Says NEO

The NYC Marathon lottery is March 4, 2026 - less than a week away. And sometimes, the answer isn’t what you hoped for.

We know how much goes into pressing submit. The training plans. The build-up. The quiet belief that this might be your year.

But if the email says no, that is not the end of the road.

It’s a redirection.

To mark the moment, we’re launching From No to Neo. If on March 4 or 5, you receive the dreaded NYC Marathon lottery rejection, send us a copy of your email confirmation and you’ll be entered to win a pair of Mizuno Neo Zen 2, courtest of Mizuno and Run Newport.

Because one closed door does not cancel your momentum. It does not erase your goals. And it definitely does not define your season.

If the answer is yes, we celebrate with you. If the answer is no, we move forward - together.

TO ENTER:
Send us a DM on Instagram with a screenshot of your NYC Marathon rejection email. One entry per person. Entries are only valid for those who were not selected.

To give everyone time to enter, pout, and properly commiserate, all submissions must be received by 12 PM on Friday, March 6. We’ll draw the winner later that afternoon on Instagram Live.

Whatever Wednesday brings, we March Forth.
