The Boston Marathon due to begin in 2011 is one of the most anticipated spots events in Boston. This is going to be the 115th Marathon and registration for this event has already started.
Boston Marathon 2011 registration open
However unlike when the Marathon first began participants can register online at the Boston Athletic Association’s website for the event which is due to take place on April 18, 2011 at 9 am sharp on Monday.
The rules for entrance into the race are still the same i.e. all entrants need to meet the Association’s speed and time standards which vary quite a bid depending on the age and the gender of the entrant.
The qualifying standards for the Boston Marathon should have been met after the 20th of September 2009 on a certified Marathon track by the USA Track & Field association or if you are coming from abroad then any foreign equivalent.
Participants need to pay an entrance fee of $130 and since the race is capped at 22,790 it’s imperative that you get registered as soon as possible as the slots do fill up quite quickly. You also need to keep in mind that this figure was reached in just under two months last year and this year the way people are lining up things could go even faster.
Last year’s race as many of you remember was pretty close and this year it could be even more interesting if many of those old racers make a return entrance this year. However the winner of the Men’s event was Rober Kiprono Cheruiyot who crossed the finish line in record time.
