FAQ

Registrants of the 2012 B.A.A. Half Marathon should receive their bib number in the mail by October 3, 2012. If you do not receive your bib number by this date, send a detailed e-mail to halfregistration@baa.org.

If you are changing your address between now and the Half Marathon on October 7, please let the B.A.A. know, so your bib number is sent to your correct location.

Please register using the name that you qualified with.  Upon confirmation of acceptance, please send proof of your name change (ie: copy of marriage certificate) to the Registration Office via email (registration@baa.org) or fax (508-435-6590) and we will update it for you. If it’s a case of a divorce, we ask for a copy of the name change portion of the divorce decree.  We can also take a copy of old and new driver’s license.

There are buses that will provide transportation back to Hopkinton State Park and South Street parking lot for participants (bibs must be presented). Buses will start making trips back to Hopkinton starting at 1pm and leave from the corner of Clarendon and Stuart St.

You must show your bib number to board the buses, no transportation is available for family or friends.

Replacement passports are available at the John Hancock Sports & Fitness Expo. Runners will need to present a photo ID to pick up their bib number.

We don’t want to have to disqualify anyone. However, if it can be verified that you moved from Wave 3 into Wave 2 or Wave 1, or from Wave 2 into Wave 1 you are subject to disqualification.

You can move back from Wave 1 into Wave 2 or Wave 3, or from Wave 2 into Wave 3, but you can not start in the first corral of a later wave.

If you are interested in exploring sponsorship opportunities with the Boston Marathon, B.A.A. Half Marathon, or any B.A.A. event, please contact T.K. Skenderian at tk@baa.org.

You may move from Wave 1 to Wave 2 or Wave 3, however you may not move from Wave 3 or 2 to Wave 1.

Runners in Wave 2 can move to Wave 3.

Due to space constraints, runners who move back may not move into the first corral of Wave 2 or Wave 3.
