2011 BOSTON MARATHON QUALIFYING TIMES

(***PLEASE NOTE THAT TIME STANDARDS CAN CHANGE; SEE THE BOSTON ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION'S WEBSITE FOR THE LATEST QUALIFYING STANDARDS. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT THERE ARE SEPARATE PUSH RIM WHEELCHAIR DIVISION QUALIFYING TIMES***)

An additional 59 seconds will be accepted for each age group/sex time standard. For example, a net time of 3:20:59 will be accepted for a 43-year old man.

To qualify for the 2011 Boston Marathon, athletes must meet the time standard which corresponds to their age group and sex. Qualifying times must be run after September 20, 2009. Seeding is based on qualifying times, which are subject to the Boston Athletic Association's review and verification. Qualifying times must be met in competitions observing the rules and/or guidelines set forth by the B.A.A., USA Track and Field or foreign equivalent, International Paralympic Committee, Wheelchair Sports, USA, Disabled Sports, USA, and the United States Association for Blind Athletes. Proof of qualification must accompany the application (you can indicate in your online application the qualifying race you've run). Runners of the Boston Marathon must be 18 years or older on race day.

Qualifying times are based upon your age on the date of the Boston Marathon in which you will be participating.
