Your Application for Entry Into the 2012 Boston Marathon

Dear Benjamin:

Thank you for submitting your application for entry into the 2012 Boston Marathon. Regrettably, we are unable to accept your application due to field size limitations and the large number of applications we received from qualified runners.

Name of Applicant Gender Age on 4-16-2012 Submitted Qualifying Time
Benjamin Hauck M 36 3:15:16

Entries from applicants in your age group were accepted through and including the time 3:13:46.

For this first time and in preparation for next year’s Boston Marathon, the B.A.A. implemented a new registration process which was not first come, first served, but rather allowed for a more systematic and orderly application procedure.

Qualifying performances achieved on or after Saturday, September 24, 2011 will be valid for 2013 registration. The 117th Boston Marathon will be held on Monday, April 15, 2013. However, please note the qualifying standards for the 2013 Boston Marathon have been tightened by five minutes for each age group. To see the new standards, click here.

We appreciate your commitment to your own running, and we encourage you to continue your pursuit of running in a future Boston Marathon.
