It's not something I think about too much. Unfortunately I'm not quick enough to be thinking of qualifying for the next Boston Marathon. But, if I was good enough, could I qualify from a UK marathon time?
I was only recently emailed this very question at my website Marathon Runners Diary. "How many of the UK marathons we be recognised by Boston as a qualifier?".
As far as I'm aware, only the London Marathon meets this requirement. But, I'm not even certain of that. Some European races, such as the Berlin Marathon are Boston qualifiers. And from what I do know, it seems the vast majority of these races are in the USA and Cananda.
Anyone know any more? It would be good to know how many Boston qualifiers there are in the UK. Even if we don't make it there, it would be good to know we have an opportunity or two to do so without havng to travel abroad.
