More people apply → wider distribution of speed → qualifying is "harder" This does not mean those applying are more competitive. *** I think it's worth looking into the intent. Are people running more marathons because they intrinsically want to? If yes, are they doing it because their goal is to win? Or are they doing it because they're mimetic being wanting to be part of something (the group of people who are able to say "I've run a marathon")? I'm no runner, but from the outside looking in, it seems like the latter.
