If you are in Wave 2 or Wave 3, you will spend less time waiting in the corrals, it won’t take as long to get to the start, and you will have more room to run when you cross the starting line than if you were toward the back of a single-wave race.

Because the fluid stations will have time to re-load after Wave 1 and Wave 2, you will have better access when you arrive at each station.

All finishers will receive a specially designed medal before exiting the finish chutes. No finisher’s certificates will be issued on site, but will be mailed to all finishers once all of the results are made official. This process usually takes a few weeks.

Your qualifying time is based on your age on the day of the Boston Marathon, thus your qualifying time will be 3hrs 25 min – and you can be 44 when you run your qualifying race.
