Okay, if I'm reading this all correctly, these guys finished way back when competing as the men that they actually are, but once they switched to "NB," they all suddenly jumped up high enough in the final standings to earn some meaningful money?

Gee, I wonder what their motivation for declaring NB status is...

What do I have to do to claim non-binary status?

For $3000 dollars I'll definitely wear a bow in my hair while running. Fuck I'll wear a dress too why not. "When did you find out you were non-binary?" Well funny story when I found out that I could win money I thought "Damn I like money, I must be non-binary. Since money is neither man nor woman".

Same here. I don't see why I should have higher standards of behavior than the grifters and conartists getting paid from this. Sure, it might leave me the moral highground, but that's not paying my bills.

No, when you declare yourself non-binary, physical reality warps around you and instantly makes you a better marathon runner. Let’s hope and pray the Kenyans never discover this technology!

Works in the swimming pool too.

I checked this out when last year's NB winner was whining about not getting prize money and he was so slow he was behind over 1000 men and about 100 women. It's so fucking stupid that the marathon has capitulated to giving them prize money. So now there is prize money for the best few men, the best few women and a few utter dickhead men who are worse than a significant number of women but who are good at throwing their toys out of their prams. There was even a case a month or so back where the mother of an AFAB NB praised marathons for having an NB category but suggested they should have two NB categories as the AFAB NBs can never win in the NB category.
