Registration for 128th Boston Marathon to open September 11

BOSTON — Registration for the 128th Boston Marathon is set to open on September 11.

The 128th Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America will be run on Monday, April 15, 2024, and registration will take place over five days, September 11–15, 2023

This will be the first marathon with Bank of America serving as the sponsor. The field size for the 128th Boston Marathon will be 30,000 participants.

“The opening of registration is one of our most exciting time periods of the year, as athletes begin their quest towards the finish line on Boylston Street,” said Jack Fleming, President and CEO of the B.A.A. “Boston Marathon qualifiers are among the most loyal and accomplished athletes in our sport and will be ready to race their best on Patriots’ Day 2024. We look forward to welcoming participants from around the world to the 128th Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America as we begin the next chapter in event history.”

Qualifier registration will open on Monday, September 11 at 10 a.m., and will close on Friday, September 15 at 5 p.m.

The B.A.A. will use the same registration process for qualified runners as it used for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 races, allowing any athlete who has achieved a currently valid Boston Marathon qualifying time to submit a registration application during Registration Week.

“As part of our year-round partnership with the B.A.A., we look forward to supporting this important step in the runners’ journey to the 2024 marathon,” said David Tyrie, Chief Digital Officer, and Chief Marketing Officer for Bank of America. “Together, we strive to make running more accessible in communities around the world and are committed to broadening the race’s impact in Boston and throughout the bank’s nearly 100 markets across the country.”

According to the BAA, achieving a qualifying standard does not guarantee acceptance into the Boston Marathon. Those who are the fastest among the pool of applicants in their age and gender group will be accepted.
