Registration Opens For Deferred Boston Marathon Runners

1. Now through Aug. 29, registration will be open for the 5,633 people who ran in this year’s Boston Marathon but were not able to finish because of the terrorist bombing incident, running.competitor.com reports.

Those runners will not need to submit a valid qualifying time, but they will need to pay a $325 entry fee. They will be able to enter a qualifying time later between Nov. 1 and Feb. 1, 2014, but it is not required to gain entry to the 2014 race. If those runners do not enter during that period, they will have the chance the enter through the qualified runner registration or through a charity.

The 2014 Boston Marathon will be held on April 21. Although final details have not yet been announced, it is believed the Boston Athletic Association is working with the city of Boston and the villages along the course to expand the size of the field. Boston police commissioner Ed Davis recently said that an additional 9,000 runners would be added to the field. However, as of Aug. 18, the BAA website acknowledges that no decision has been made about the field size, including qualified and invitational entries or how the potential 5,633 deferred runners might play into that equation.
