Runners who qualify can register online for the 2011 Boston Marathon beginning today.

The BAA said it expects the race field to fill faster than last year, when it took just over two months to reach the maximum number of runners allowed. Registration will be via the BAA's web site.

The 2011 race will be held April 18. Entrants must have reached the BAA's qualifying standard in a USATF-certified marathon held on or after Sept. 20, 2009. Entry fee is $130 for US residents.

Last year, 22,721 runners finished the marathon.
