The 130th Boston Marathon, set for April 20, 2026, has opened applications for runners. While qualifying times are necessary, they do not guarantee entry; only top performers in their respective age and gender groups will be accepted if submissions exceed the field size. The qualifying window began on Sept. 1, 2024, with a registration end date still to be announced. In addition, the B.A.A. Official Charity Program allows runners to participate without qualifying times, expanding access to the event for charity fundraising efforts.
“The 2026 Boston Marathon is accepting applications, and achieving qualifying times does not guarantee entry; fast applicants have a higher chance of acceptance.”
“The qualifying window for the 2026 Boston Marathon opened on Sept. 1, 2024, and will proceed until later this year, with no end date announced.”
