Boston Marathon 2024 Cutoff Announced
Cutoff time set at 529 for 2024 Boston Marathon
Nearly 30% of applicants expected to be turned down
The Boston Athletic Association (BAA) announced on September 28 that the cutoff time for the 2024 Boston Marathon is 529. This means that applicants must run a qualifying time of 529 or faster in order to be guaranteed a spot in the race.
The qualifying window for the 2024 Boston Marathon began on September 1, 2022 and was open through September 15, 2023. The qualifying times are based on each athlete's age on the day of the race.
Judging by previous years' numbers, it is expected that nearly 30% of applicants will be turned down. This is based on past cut-off times and the number of athletes who have been declined.
The BAA has not released any information about the number of applications that have been received for the 2024 Boston Marathon. However, the race is typically oversubscribed, and the BAA typically receives more applications than it has spots available.
If you are planning to apply for the 2024 Boston Marathon, it is important to make sure that you meet the qualifying time. You can find the qualifying times on the BAA website.
