  • 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.

Explicit formulae for two practical cases are derived, and their applications are demonstrated using an example. c 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: Sports; Records; Survival times; Non-homogeneous Poisson process 1. Introduction Let R¿0 and S¿0 be two random variables with respective distribution functions FR(:) and FS (:). Suppose R, the record in a given sport, is subject to set of events (attempts) S. Then the record breaks if the value of S exceeds (subceeds) R. The value of S is a function of the type of sport, number of participants, prize, training, environmental factors such as temperature, altitude, etc., and factors important to the athletes and the public. The value of R depends on factors such as the type and popularity of the sport, amount of rewards or prizes, number of formal competitions, etc. The probability of breaking a record is then ∞ P(S¿R)=p =1− FS (x)dFR(x); 0 where p is the probability of breaking a record in a single attempt.
