2023 Boston Marathon Qualifying Times

Racing at the Boston Marathon is a rite of passage for many endurance athletes. Runners from all over the world want to experience the rich history of the event and receive the support from the enthusiastic crowds that line the course on Patriots' Day. 

But there is a selective process to even get on the start line. The Boston Marathon is one of the few marathons that requires a qualifying time for prospective runners.

The qualifying time must be run on a certified marathon course between the dates of September 1, 2021 and September 16, 2022. 

It's important to note that these times do not guarantee entry into the race, rather they just allow for someone to complete a race application.
