Exception to age restriction for the NYC Marathon?

Hi all, My daughter and I were planning to train to run the NYC
marathon this year. Today I found out that there she must be 18 years
of age to run but she will only be 17 at that time. As she is a capable
runner and will be accompanied by me, do you know if there are any
exceptions made to the age restriction? Thanks for any info.

Gary,
Is she hot?
If so, maybe we can deal.

AFAIK they don't check birth certificates. Now I'm not telling her to
tell a lie, but thats what I would do. Then again one or both of you
may not even be lucky enough to get in.

Thanks Eric. I've thought about it, although I would be travelling from
outside the US so I'm not keen to take a chance.
