  • 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.
