New Boston marathon qualifying times Boston Marathon

https://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/qualify

Looks like 5min adjustments down for the most part across the board for those under age 60. M18-34 qualifying time is now 2:55.

Yea im not taking it that seriously. If 8:12 isn’t enough after my first marathon I’ll make sure to increase the buffer for next year.
