Boston Marathon Blues
You do know that registration for the Boston Marathon opened yesterday, right?
The question on everyone’s mind is “will the new qualifying standards slow down the process?”
Due to growing demand, they phased in a rolling registration process for the 2012 race, and then tightened the qualifying standards by five minutes for the 2013 race.
The new standards still aren’t as tight as they were back in the glory days of American running, but it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
