波士頓體育會會長Tom
Grilk表示，”我們在謹慎樂觀中，宣佈2021年波士頓馬拉松賽日期”。”如果我們能夠在10月舉辦人們親自參加的比賽，參加者，志工，觀賽者，以及社區群眾的安全將是最重要考量”。
麻州州長查理貝克(Charlie
Baker)表示，麻州在持續對抗新冠病毒，並在全州分發疫苗，在未來日子光明可期下，我們期待著2021年回到一個新的正常狀態。州政府將持續和地方夥伴，以及波士頓體育會合作，觀察狀況，並對第125屆波士頓馬拉松賽能夠在10月舉行保持希望。
波士頓市長馬丁華殊(Martin
Walsh)表示，雖然取消2020波士頓馬拉松賽當然是個正確決定，但是這124年歷史中的第一次取消，卻是最難做的宣佈之一。”今天，我們訂定10月舉辦第125屆馬拉松賽，我充滿希望”。
波士頓體育會為慶祝第125屆波士頓馬拉松賽，將同時提供虛擬參賽的選擇。包括親自參賽的場地大小，登記日期，安全辦法及規則，參賽者規定等額外細節，以後會公佈。這一活動計畫還將視乎馬拉松賽路徑沿線八個市鎮未來是否批准。
直到麻州重新開放計畫進入第四階段前，路賽是不准舉辦的。麻州在12月13日時把重新開放計畫到退回第三階段第一步驟。
Fall 2021 Boston Marathon Date Selected
Race can occur when allowed under Massachusetts reopening
guidelines
BOSTON—The Boston Athletic
Association (B.A.A.) has announced that if road races are allowed to take
place as part of the Massachusetts reopening plan, the 125th Boston Marathon will be held on Monday,
October 11, 2021.
“We announce the 2021 Boston
Marathon date with a cautious optimism, understanding full well that we will
continue to be guided by science and our continued collaborative work with
local, city, state, and public health officials,” said Tom Grilk, President and
C.E.O. of the B.A.A. “If we are able to hold an in-person race in October, the safety of participants, volunteers, spectators, and
community members will be paramount.”
“Massachusetts continues to fight COVID-19 and distribute
vaccines across the Commonwealth, and with brighter days ahead, we are looking
forward to getting back to a new normal in 2021,” said Governor Charlie Baker.
“We will continue to work with local partners and the B.A.A. to monitor the
situation and remain hopeful that the 125th Boston Marathon can take
place this October.”
"While it was of course the right thing to do, canceling the 2020 Boston Marathon for the first time in its 124-year history was one of the hardest announcements to make," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "Today, I'm filled with hope, as we set our sights on October for the running of the 125th Boston Marathon. We have a ways to go before we're out of the woods, but guided by sound judgement and the advice of our public health experts, I am hopeful that we'll get to enjoy the return of one of Boston's most storied traditions this fall."
In celebration of the 125th Boston Marathon, the B.A.A. will also offer a virtual race option. Additional details including field size for the in-person race, registration dates, safety measures and protocols, and participant requirements that will be in place will be forthcoming. The event plan will be pending future approval from the eight cities and towns that comprise the marathon route.
Road
races are currently not permitted until Phase 4 of the Massachusetts reopening
plan. The Commonwealth reverted to Phase III,
Step 1 of the reopening
plan on December 13, 2020.
