Qualifier
Acceptances Announced for 127th Boston Marathon
BOSTON—The Boston Athletic
Association (B.A.A.) proudly announced today that all qualified athletes who
submitted applications during the 2023 Boston Marathon registration window
(September 12-16) will be accepted into the April 17th race,
provided their qualifying time is verified.
“With registration serving as our Opening Day, we are eager to
kick off the road to Boston for qualified participants from around the world,”
said Jack Fleming, acting Chief Executive Officer of the B.A.A. “On Patriots’
Day, the determination, passion, and unity of marathoners will be on display,
bringing our community together in the spirit of athletics and our heritage. We
are very much looking forward to the 127th running of the Boston
Marathon in just seven months.”
A total of 23,267 applications were submitted over the five-day
registration window, an increase from the 22,936 qualified applications
received last year. The field of 2023 qualifiers is made up of 13,315 men,
9,930 women, and 22 non-binary athletes. 624 athletes who have finished at
least 10 consecutive Boston Marathons had already been accepted into the field.
The 127th Boston Marathon will feature a field size of 30,000
participants. The remainder of the field will be made up of athletes
representing official charity partners, sponsors, members of our professional
field, and other invitational entries.
The B.A.A. is currently in the process of verifying and
confirming all qualifying time submissions. Applicants will receive official
notice of acceptance in the coming weeks once their qualifying time has been
approved and credit cards are successfully charged. Any athlete who submitted
an invalid time, a finish result for a distance other than a qualifying
marathon, or a time not within the designated qualifying window will be
notified of non-acceptance. Applicants are asked not to send additional
qualifying information to the B.A.A. unless specifically requested by a B.A.A.
official.
Also, the B.A.A. announced the qualifying window for the 128th
Boston Marathon, scheduled to take place on April 15, 2024, began on September
1, 2022. Registration details for that race will be announced following the
2023 Boston Marathon.
The next B.A.A. event will be the 2022 B.A.A. Half Marathon, presented by
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund, on Sunday, November 13. Limited entry spots remain available,
and athletes may register within their B.A.A. Athletes’ Village account.
A list of frequently asked questions can be found below. Please
note that all statistics are preliminary and may change slightly during the
verification process.
