Boston Qualifying Times 2026 Marathon. This year, there were a record number of qualifiers who applied to run the boston marathon. The qualifying times below are based upon each athlete's age on the date of the 2026 boston marathon (april 20, 2026).
For the 2025 qualifying period, the old (2020) boston qualifying times were applied. That led to a steep cutoff time of 6:51 for the 2025 race and new qualifying times for the 2026 race and beyond.
