Boston Marathon Qualifying Times. For amateur runners, some people use the Boston Marathon qualifying times (BQ) as a measure of a good marathon time. Only a small percentage of marathon runners achieve these times. To qualify for the Boston Marathon, men ages 18 to 34 must run 3:05 or faster, and women in that age group must run 3:35 or faster. After that, additional time is given to older age groups. The BQ time standards can change from year to year. To qualify, you must run a marathon that is one of the designated Boston Qualifier races. Many runners select one of the marathons with the fastest courses to attempt to earn a BQ time.
The 2014 Boston Marathon is underway. The entrants leave in eight waves between 8:50 and 11:25 a.m. You can watch the runners at the organizers' website. Number of participants: 36,000, about 1,700 from New York state. (Check back later: We will report the times for all the runners from New York state.) The record was set for the 100th anniversary of the marathon in 1996: 38,708, with 35,708 finishers. Best male time on record: Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai, 2:03:02, 2010. Best female time on record: Kenyan Margaret Okoya, 2:20:43, 2002.
