Boston Marathon Field Size & Registration Date Set

Today the B.A.A. announced the details for the 2014 Boston Marathon.

1. As expected, the field size will increase by 9,000 runners to allow 36,000 runners to take part next year.

2. Rolling registration will open on Monday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. ET.

  • Runners meeting the qualifying standards by 20 minutes or more will be able to register immediately. 
  • Runners meeting the qualifying standards by 10 minutes or more will be able to register on Sept. 11 at 10 a.m. ET.
  • Runners meeting the qualifying standards by 5 minutes or more will be able to register on Sept. 13 at 10 a.m. ET.
  • All qualified runners will be able to register beginning Sept. 16 at 10 a.m. ET.
Of course, at any point registration will fill up and close. My guess is sometime on Sept. 13, and I'm really hoping I'm able to get in (I'm in the 5 minute group). We'll all find out soon enough!
