Are you currently training or are you thinking about training for a Marathon Running Race? The Boston Marathon, which takes place in Mid April, is one of the most famous and largest foot races in the USA.
This April will mark the 115th year of the marathon. To be accepted, applicants must have recently run a certified marathon within the specific qualifying time for their age/gender group (for instance, a 45-year old female must have completed a marathon in four hours, while an 18-year old male has to have run one in 3:10). The Boston Marathon is one of the only races that requires qualifying times.
Qualifying time brackets are normally available at www.bostonmarathon.org, but at the moment their entire site redirects to the registration page, so for now they can be seen at MarathonGuide.com. You can register for this event here.
The Boston Athletic Association (BAA) operates the marathon. Each year an average of 20,000 runners from all over the world compete.
If you intend to compete or just to participate in this event, you should begin your training now. Of course, running a couple of marathons over the winter months will also go a long way in helping you prepare for the Boston course.
In the mean time, don't forget to register, eat well, train hard and mentally prepare yourself for the race. You can get a great training program that addresses all of this going here. Free information, tips and more from a true marathon runner.
