Hi ,
I am looking to qualify for the 2014 Boston Marathon. On this very page my qualifying time is listed as 4 hours at the top in a blue box. A bit lower on the page my qualifying time is listed as 3:45 . Can you clarify. I am also wondering what are the start and stop dates one can run a quailifying time for the 2014 race. I will be 63 on race day 2014. This will be my 4th Boston should I get in. Thank You,

Thanks for noticing. Corrected.
Hello, I am a physician and my husband is an ENT doctor. I also have 3 boys, the oldest is pre med. I was told that via AMA, I could get my family into the Boston Marathon. I have qualified 6 times myself and run a Boston Marathon and run as an elite runner for my Tamalpa Team. I have re-qualified more than 15 min. under my qualifying time. How do I proceed to get my family in? Thanks, Gayle
