The Boston Marathon lottery system is the primary method for gaining entry into this prestigious race. Due to overwhelming demand, the Boston Athletic Association implemented a lottery system to fairly distribute bib numbers among qualified runners.
Applicants must first meet the qualifying time standards for their age and gender category. Once qualified, runners can submit their application during the registration period, typically in September. The lottery drawing occurs shortly after, with notifications sent to all applicants regarding their status.
Successful applicants are charged the entry fee and officially registered for the race. Unsuccessful applicants receive a refund of their entry fee deposit and may explore alternative entry methods such as charity teams or international tour operators. |
