The Boston Marathon is an annual race hosted by the U.S. city of Boston, Massachusetts, on Patriots’ Day, the third Monday of April. Begun in 1897 and inspired by the success of the first modern-day marathon competition in the 1896 Summer Olympics, the Boston Marathon is the world’s oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world’s best-known road racing events. It is one of five World Marathon Majors. Today, the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) manages this event. The event attracts 500,000 spectators each year, making it New England’s most widely viewed sporting event.

Dear Organizers,
I haven’t found any infos about registration fees. I ran 3:37:29 at Vienna City Marathon, and I was born on 04/03/71. What will be the fee for foreigners (I’m Hungarian)? I should try to find sponsors…..
Best regards,
Judit
Question: My time I am using for the 2012 race is 3:55.15
My required qualifying standard for the 2012 race is 4:05
Since you are allowing the 59 second leeway for the 2012 race, I actually can run 4:05.59 and still qualify. Does that mean that I can sign up on Sept 14 or 15? Since there is leeway, I feel that I qualified by 10 minutes and 44 seconds. (As opposed to 9 minutes, 45 seconds, which would require I wait until Sept. 16)
Have the same question posted by Fay Tarbush:
Can you tell me if walkers are included in the Boston Marathon and if so, what are the requirements for walking the Marathon? Do you have a category for Seniors?
Thank you for an email response.
