re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

You can join one of the approved charities to get a race bib with no qualifying time required. The World Major Marathons all have this option as well. The major difference being this is the only way I know of to get in Boston if you are not fast enough to time qualify (for me as a 51 yo male it required <3:25 marathon.) The minimum amount you have to raise is usually 5-10K.
