Registration for the 2018 Boston Marathon Starts On Monday (9/11)

If you would like to be one of the 30,000 runners at the 122nd Boston Marathon on Monday, April 16, 2018, have your qualification times ready to register next week!

The race will once again follow a rolling registration, based on a qualifying time run since September 17, 2016:

• Monday, September 11 - Qualifiers who have met the qualifying standard by 20 minutes, 00 seconds or more. 
• Wednesday, September 13 - Qualifiers who have met the qualifying standard by 10 minutes, 00 seconds or more (if space remains). 
• Friday, September 15 - Qualifiers who have met the qualifying standard by 5 minutes, 00 seconds or more (if space remains). 
• Saturday, September 16 - Registration closes at 10:00 p.m. ET. 
• Monday, September 18 - All qualifiers who have met the qualifying standard (if space remains) may submit an entry. 
• Wednesday, September 20 - Registration closes at 5:00 p.m. ET. 

If space remains after this initial period, then on Monday, September 25 registration will re-open to anyone who meets the qualifying standards on a first come, first served basis. Registration will remain open until the maximum field size is reached.

Historically, you have had to have been faster than your qualifying time by 1:02-2:28 to get a spot since rolling registration has been in place. Let's hope you have a speedy qualifier under your belt for 2016/2017, maybe even fast enough for Corral #1!

I'll be there for sure. Let me know if you're coming to Hopkinton!
