2017 Boston Marathon Registration

The 2017 Boston Marathon registration opens 9/12/16.

Its that time of year again, the Boston Marathon registration is now open to the really fast runners (not me). Registration opens Monday, September 12th, 2016 at 10 am est. The registration process will remain the same as last year with fastest qualifiers being able to register first. The race itself will be ran on April 17, 2017, which is always a Monday and Patriots Day. This race is very important to me as I was fortunate enough to participate in the 2013 race. With all the events that happened on that day really made me appreciate the race, the city, the fans, and life.

For those who do not know, the qualification window for the 2017 Boston Marathon began on September 19, 2015. This means only races on or after this date can be used for qualification times.

One other thing to note was that for the 2016 Boston Marathon, the cut-off time was 2:28 under the respective qualifying requirement. This means that if your qualifying time was 3:10, you would need to have ran a 3:07:32 to have qualified.

If you intend to sign up for the race, good luck. I have had the opportunity to run this race 2 times, 2010 and 2013. I highly recommend running this at least once if you have the opportunity!
