The loyalty period guarantees a spot to most runners who competed in the previous edition, reflecting high retention and consolidation of the participant base in mass-participation events. This approach prioritizes continuity over random access for those with prior experience in the race. The lottery opening for the remaining spots promotes transparency through notarial oversight, ensuring fairness in a model where initial registration is free and only the final entry fee is paid if a bib number is assigned. This structure lowers barriers to entry by eliminating the opportunity cost of unsuccessful attempts. This process is relevant to open data because it exposes the methodology for allocating limited resources in large-scale sporting events. Analyzing these loyalty and lottery data allows us to understand participation patterns, equity of access, and the effectiveness of demand management policies in the organized sports industry.
