Overview 

The Boston Athletic Association actively works alongside many partners, associations and governing bodies with athletes at the center of our work, decisions and policies. 

We work within the rules, ensuring the integrity and credibility of the sport of running and holding ourselves to the highest standards.  

The B.A.A. dedicates significant professional runner and professional para athlete services to ensure we are information-sharing, responsive and among the very best in class.  

Our own organization’s policies are regularly reviewed.  Amendments to our policies will reflect changes within sport while still adhering to rules intended to provide clarity, order, fairness, and consistency.
