Boston Marathon Qualification-Waived Entry

Each year, the BAA makes available to the New England running clubs a limited number of entries for which the age group time qualifications are waived. This year 4 entries of this type have been be given to the Falmouth Track Club. The entry fee for these qualification-waived entries is $365.00.

In order to be fair, the following procedure will be used:

1. Any interested member should fill out the 2020 Boston Marathon Waiver Form. The completed form should be mailed to FRC President,  661 Main St., Falmouth, MA  02540 or e-mailed to info@falmouthrunningclub.org. The envelope should be marked “Boston Waiver” on the lower left hand corner. Note, anyone who has simply spoken to someone on the board expressing an interest in running should make sure they fill out the waiver application form.

2. The waiver form asks for information on primarily two areas: (1) what the applicant has done to support club activities in the past year (volunteering, participating in club races or fun runs, etc.) and (2) a description of the applicant’s current training (weekly mileage, number of times a week one runs, longest and shortest average run in a week, number races a month, track workouts, Friday night runs, etc., etc.)

3. The deadline for the club to be in receipt of the waiver form is November 30th.

4. The person MUST be a current paying member.

The board will meet if there are more than 4 applicants who the Board determines meet the above criteria and will select 4 runners from that qualified group. Applicants for the waivers will be notified in December.

The deadline for waived entries being received by the BAA for Boston is February 14, 2023! If you are awarded a waiver by the FRC Board, you will receive a special code to use when you enter online.

Please Note! If you receive a waiver from the club and later cannot run, BAA rules stipulate that your marathon registration cannot be be deferred and is non-transferable.
