Registration for the 2012 Boston Marathon will begin Monday at 10 a.m. Race registration will be held entirely online at the Boston Athletic Association's web site.

Eligible runners who have met the qualifying standards for their age and gender by 20 minutes or more may register. Next Wednesday at 10 a.m., registration will open for those who met their qualifying standards by 10 minutes or more (if space remains), and on Sept. 16 at 10 a.m., registration opens for those who have met their qualifying standards by five minutes or more.

Registration closes Sept. 17 at 10 p.m., and will reopen the following Monday at 10 a.m. to all qualifiers until Sept. 23 at 5 p.m. Those who are the fastest among the pool of applicants in their age and gender will be accepted. Runners are not officially entered into the race until their qualifying time is verified.
