Given that the first in-person Boston Marathon since 2019 will include a reduced field because of ongoing pandemic-related concerns, it’s no surprise that qualifying for the 2021 edition was even more difficult than usual.
The already high standards that runners had to pass in order to qualify for Boston were escalated this year. According to a Boston Athletic Association announcement from back in May, simply meeting the qualifying standards was not enough to get a spot among the expected field of 20,000.
Since the usual number of runners in Boston is much higher (30,000 participated in 2019), the BAA revealed that it only accepted athletes who ran 7 minutes and 47 seconds faster than their respective qualifying time.
According to Runner’s World, the 7:47 margin is the “biggest cutoff in the race’s history.”
Runners’ qualifying times had to have fallen between Sept. 15, 2018, and April 23, 2021.
