Update 4/13/19-3 PM: The weather on Saturday is 70 degrees and wonderful! Monday is expected rainy, less wind than 2018 and in 50s to 70s. Again watch the weather updates.

BOSTON, MA (12-April) – Due to inclement weather forecasted for April 15, the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.), organizers of the Boston Marathon, has announced changes to ensure the safety of participants in this year’s Boston Marathon.

Working with the National Weather Service and our partners throughout the community, the B.A.A. is preparing for weather conditions calling for rain with strong wind and morning temperatures in the mid 30 degree Fahrenheit range, with the potential for wind chills in the low 30’s. This forecast is similar to the 2018 Boston Marathon.

Due to these anticipated conditions, the B.A.A. will start Wave 4 participants immediately following Wave 3, reducing the amount of time participants are waiting in the Athletes’ Village prior to beginning their race.

In addition, the Boston Athletic Association has taken multiple steps towards ensuring the safety of all participants and volunteers at this year’s event. The preparations already made for this year’s race include:

  • – Adjustments to staging areas to ensure weather readiness, including tent walls, additional heat, and flooring.

  • – Additional accommodations for potential overflow of medical aid stations along the course.

  • – For volunteers along the course, additional ponchos and hand warmers will be distributed.

  • – Enhanced gear check area to prevent long wait times when retrieving gear bags.

    The above list is in addition to other previously planned accommodations for runners, volunteers, and operational support. It is crucial that athletes take seriously the weather forecast and prepare appropriately for all conditions.

    The B.A.A. is making special accommodation for athletes whose means of participation are directly impacted by current forecasted weather conditions. Our race history has shown that the forecasted conditions will cause unique challenges for athletes whose participation requires specific equipment that limits contact with the ground. This includes participants in the wheelchair division, handcycle program, duo program, and runners competing with prosthesis. Eligible athletes who elect deferral will receive a complimentary entry into the 2020 Boston Marathon. For those athletes, qualifying standards will be waived if a deferment is selected.

    The B.A.A. will continue to update participants of changes in procedures and best practices for a safe and successful Boston Marathon experience. We continue to encourage participants to use their best judgement in preparing for and participating in the Boston Marathon.

    ABOUT THE BOSTON ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (B.A.A.)

The B.A.A.’s Boston Marathon is the world’s oldest annual marathon, and the organization manages other local events and supports comprehensive charity, youth, and year- round running programs, including high performance athletes and running club.
