What are the qualification times of the Boston Marathon for 2025 and 2026?

Men and women between the ages of 18 and 34 must have run almost 7 minutes under 3:00 and 3:30 a.m. to qualify for the Boston Marathon 2025.
In 2026, the standards become even harder because the qualification times fall by five minutes.
The 129th Boston Marathon will take place on Monday, April 21st.

The Boston Marathon is known to be difficult to achieve with quick qualification times: 3 hours for men and 3 hours and 30 minutes for women in the youngest age group from 18 to 34 years. Even if you take the time, there is often an additional time that the Boston Athletic Association has set when too many people qualify. This year, the fault time was a record of 6 minutes and 51 seconds as part of the qualification standard.

Next year the standards will become even harder because the qualification times fall by five minutes.
