The marathon rewards tryers and if you can prove that you have entered and been rejected five times

you don't have to provide any proof.

snipped - (and the marathon will have records of this)

yes, they will. they keep a record of who enters and how many times.

you will get automatic entry on your sixth attempt - but you'll have to contact them to let them know.

no, you don't have to contact them, providing you enter the race for a 6th consecutive time you get an automatic slot for not getting in during you last 5 attempts.

i entered every year from my 18th birthday and finally got in on my 6th entry in 1994.
