Boston Marathon Entry Dates Set

Monday, September 9 - Qualifiers who have met the qualifying standard by 20 minutes, 00 seconds or faster.

Wednesday, September 11 - Qualifiers who have met the qualifying standard by 10 minutes, 00 seconds or faster (if space remains).


Friday, September 13 - Qualifiers who have met the qualifying standard by 5 minutes, 00 seconds or faster (if space remains).


Monday, September 16 - All qualifiers who have met the qualifying standard (if space remains).


Friday, September 20 - Registration closes at 5:00 p.m. ET.

If space remains after this initial period, then on Monday, September 23 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.

The field was also increased to 36,000 which does indeed include the 9000 additional spots for which they were asking.  The field for the 100th race was larger, so this is not something that hasn't been dealt with numbers-wise.

They also stated that 4511 of the 5600 that were guaranteed an entry registered.  That window is closed so those that didn't register would have to now register with a time.
