2006 BOSTON MARATHON QUALIFYING RACES (BY RACE: L)
Above are marathons listed on the Boston Athletic Association's Website as 2006 Boston Marathon qualifiers. No links to race sites are
provided because, if you still wish to apply for the April 2006 Boston Marathon, you should have already have run your qualifying
race. These pages are merely intended to provide a guide for future qualifying races (e.g., the Boulder Backroads Marathon was a Boston
Qualifier in 2004 and 2005, and will most likely be a Boston Qualifier again in 2006 (Go Boulder!)). ***DO NOT
sign up for a race to qualify for Boston 2007 or future Bostons based solely on a race's appearance on this page. Always check the event's
website for the phrase "Boston Qualifier" - if you don't see "Boston Qualifier," ask the race organizers if it is a qualifier and be sure
to get an answer in writing - sometimes a race course is changed and loses its USA Track and Field or foreign equivalent certification as
being 26 miles, 385 yards or 42.195 kilometers in length (i.e., the official marathon distance).
