Boston Marathon 2027: Registration Dates<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Registration for the Boston Marathon 2027 for qualified runners takes place within specific windows and follows clear rules set by the B.A.A. Below you will find all key information regarding registration, pre\u2011verification of qualifying times, and the procedures involved in the qualification process.<\/p>\n

Qualified Runner Registration \u2014 Boston Marathon 2027<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Registration for runners with a qualifying time will take place from
\nSeptember 14\u201318, 2026<\/strong> through the B.A.A. Athletes\u2019 Village<\/strong> platform.
\nApplications may be submitted until 5:00 p.m. ET<\/strong> on Friday, September 18.
\nRegistration is not first\u2011come, first\u2011served \u2014 every qualified runner has time to submit an application within the designated window.<\/p>\n

Due to field size limitations, achieving a qualifying time does not guarantee<\/strong> acceptance into the race.
\nA qualifying time only provides the opportunity to submit an application, and the final participant list depends on the number of submissions and the strength of qualifying times in a given year.<\/p>\n

Entry fees are non\u2011refundable<\/strong>, and race bibs cannot be transferred or deferred<\/strong>.
\nThe only exception is the B.A.A.\u2019s pregnancy and postpartum deferment policy. Refunds may be available only to runners who purchased optional registration insurance.<\/p>\n

Pre\u2011Verification of Qualifying Times<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Beginning July 1, 2026<\/strong>, the B.A.A. opens the pre\u2011verification period<\/strong> for qualifying times
\nfor the 131st Boston Marathon. Runners may submit their qualifying time early so it can be confirmed and stored in the Athletes\u2019 Village system. This speeds up the registration process in September because the time is already verified.<\/p>\n

Pre\u2011verification does not register<\/strong> you for the Boston Marathon. It only confirms your qualifying time in advance.
\nTo enter the race, runners must submit a full application during the Qualifier Registration Week.<\/p>\n

Both pre\u2011verification and September registration include time index adjustments<\/strong> for qualifying times achieved
\non courses with a net elevation drop greater than 1,500 feet (457.2 m)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The registration process for the Boston Marathon 2027 requires attention to deadlines and accurate preparation of qualifying data.
\nPre\u2011verification speeds up September registration but does not replace the official application.
\nDue to limited field size, meeting the qualifying standard alone does not guarantee entry.<\/p>\n

Runners planning to participate should monitor B.A.A. announcements, prepare their qualifying documentation,
\nand submit their application within the designated registration window.<\/p>\n
