REGISTRATION FOR THE 2018 BOSTON MARATHON OPENS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11

Field size will be 30,000 official entrants for the 122nd running on April 16

BOSTON — Registration for the 2018 Boston Marathon opens on Monday, September 11, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. ET. The B.A.A. will use the same process to register qualified runners as it used in the 2012 through 2017 Boston Marathons, allowing the fastest qualifiers to register first.

Registration will be held entirely online at www.baa.org, and qualifying performances run since September 17, 2017 may be submitted for entry.

In cooperation with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the eight cities and towns along the Boston Marathon route, the B.A.A. has set the field size for the 2018 Boston Marathon at 30,000 official entrants. The 122nd annual race will mark the 33rd consecutive year that the event will have John Hancock as its principal sponsor.

2018 BOSTON MARATHON REGISTRATION DATES

• Monday, September 11 at 10:00 a.m. ET: Runners who have met the qualifying standard by 20 minutes, 00 seconds or more may apply for entry. 


• Wednesday, September 13 at 10:00 a.m. ET: Runners who have met the qualifying standard by 10 minutes, 00 seconds or more may apply for entry (if space remains).


• Friday, September 15 at 10:00 a.m. ET: Runners who have met the qualifying standard by 5 minutes, 00 seconds or more may apply for entry (if space remains).


• Saturday, September 16 at 10:00 p.m. ET: Registration closes for the first week.


• Monday, September 18 at 10:00 a.m. ET: All runners who have met the qualifying standard may apply for entry (if space remains).


• Wednesday, September 20 at 5:00 p.m. ET: Registration closes for the second week.


If space remains after this initial period, then on Monday, September 25 at 10:00 a.m. ET registration will reopen 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 B.A.A. will not predict or provide an anticipated date for when the race will reach its maximum field of qualified applicants. However, the B.A.A.’s website (www.BAA.org), Facebook page and Twitter account will provide updates throughout the registration process, and will answer many frequently asked questions during this time period. These pages will be continuously updated throughout registration.

The registration fee for the 2018 Boston Marathon for qualifiers is $185 USD for United States residents and $250 USD for international residents.
