Boston Marathon registration dates, qualifying standards announced
Mark your calendars, registration for the 2017 Boston Marathon will open on Monday, September 12, according to the Boston Athletic Association.
But registration for qualified runners is not first come, first serve. The process will be the same as last year, with the fastest qualifiers allowed to register first.
Registration will open at 10 a.m., beginning with the fastest qualifiers, and continue on a rolling admission schedule, the BAA said. The qualification window for the 2017 race began on September 19, 2015.
Registration is held entirely online. The admission fee is $185 for U.S. resident qualifiers and $250 for international residents.
The 2017 Boston Marathon will be run on April 17.
