Registration is about three months away. Who is going? Does anyone have a last chance to BQ race before September? It's hard to predict a cutoff since they vary the number of qualified runners they take each year but for previous years they had:
Boston 2018 had a 3:23 cutoff
Boston 2017 had a 2:09 cutoff
Boston 2016 had a 2:28 cutoff
Boston 2015 had a 1:02 cutoff
Boston 2014 had a 1:38 cutoff
If I had to guess at a cutoff, I'd say somewhere in the 2-3 min range is a good bet. I've got a 5:27 cushion so I should be good to go for my 6th Boston in a row.
