  • The Gender Effects of the New Boston Marathon Qualification Standards
    Journal of Sports Analytics 1 (2015) 33–42 33 DOI 10.3233/JSA-150003 IOS Press The gender effects of the new Boston Marathon qualification standards Sean Severea,∗, Jeffrey A. Kappena, Jason Groutb and Jadranka Tramosljanina aDepartment of Economics, College of Business and Public Administration, Drake University, Des Moines, IA, USA bBloomberg, L.P., Quantitative Finance and Research Team, New York, NY, USA Abstract. In 2011, the Boston Athletic Association tightened the standards to qualify for the Boston Marathon from 2013 onwards. By simply deducting five minutes and eliminating grace periods, the BAA failed to address differences between female and male qualifying times. Given public outcry and claims of unfairness, our paper tests whether the new standards had unequal gender effects on qualification. Using data on 1.42 million finishers over six years, we find that male qualifying decreased by 5% under the new standards while female qualifying only decreased by 2%, though these effects vary across age divisions. Keywords: Age, Boston Marathon, gender, rule formulation, sport event management 1. Introduction age. This 30-minute gender gap was identical to the old qualification standards. The window for the 2013 By many accounts, the annual Boston Marathon Boston Marathon, and the new standards, opened on organized by the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) September 23, 2011 so all athletes running a qualify- each April is one of the most prestigious events on the ing marathon on or after that day had to run under the annual racing calendar. In an effort to maintain both new standards to qualify. The old and new qualifying the elite character and overall size of the race, the BAA standards are summarized in Table 1.

    APPLICATION FOR 2012 BOSTON MARATHON WAIVER The Boston Athletic Association (BAA) has again given several Boston Marathon qualifying-time “waivers” to Colonial Road Runners, to distribute to our members. Those who receive the waivers do not have to meet the standard qualifying-time requirements. Instead, they are given a special “invitational” Boston Marathon application to file with the BAA. The registration fee for the invitational application was $250 in 2011. CRITERIA: • All Colonial members are eligible to apply to the club for a Boston Marathon waiver and are encouraged to do so. • If you applied for a waiver in the previous year (2011), you are still eligible to apply again in 2012 regardless of whether you received one or not • In the event that the number of applications exceeds the number of available waivers, preference will be given to members who have: (1) Belonged to the club for at least one full year, (2) Volunteered in club activities during 2010/2011, (3) Been actively involved in club races and events during 2010/2011. (4) Have completed one or more races at least 20K (12.4 miles) or longer 2010/2011.

After months of weather that required some additional determination to get out and train, I think most club members will be looking forward to the traditional spring road races and the start of the Track and Field season. I hope that our fell and off road specialists, who seemingly revelled in the mud and adverse weather will cope with the warmer and hopefully at least drier weather! The club seniors who ran the London Marathon and got sunburnt whilst doing so, must have had mixed feelings about the return of the sun! I hope everyone has a good summer at whatever their favourite discipline is.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.
