There are 25,000 spots for runners in the Boston Marathon each year, and qualifying times vary by age. For males, qualifying times range from 3 hours and 5 minutes to 4 hours and 55 minutes, and for women, qualifying maximums range from 3 hours and 35 minutes to 5 hours and 25 minutes.

23,021 runners started the 2010 Boston Marathon (out of the 26,735 who entered).

Samuel Wanjiru & Liliya Shobukhova each won $75,000 in prize money in 2010 as top finishers. In addition, they each received $40,000 bonuses for their finishing times. However every year, the total prize money depends upon the sponsorship funds received for the event.

Registration for the 2012 Boston Marathon begins on September 12, 2011 and ends on September 23,2011. Registration dates also depend on qualifying times and these vary based on age,gender,and physical impairments as well.

The Boston Marathon is a foot race of 26 miles, 385 yards (42.2 km.), that is run annually in the City of Boston.

26.2 miles; all marathons are.

The reason is that the distance from the Plains of Marathon, the site of the battle in Greece, was 26.2 miles from downtown Athens. The Athenian citizens were preparing to evacuate the city via their navy. The Athenian army was trying to hold off the invading Persians. When the Athenians were victorious, the general dispatched a messenger named Pheidippides, who ran to the city, announced the victory, and died on the spot.

Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya set the course record in April 2011. His world best time of 2:03:02 is not considered the World Record by IAAF, as the legendary Boston Marathon course does not conform to WR layout standards.

• no, because sedentary meaning sitting, staying, no movement and the boston marathon is a 26 mile run... if u participate in the boston marathon u should be running not sitting with no movement.

That is the most common way to gain entry. See this URL for qualifying criteria: http://baa.org/BostonMarathon/Qualifying.asp However, you can also gain entry to the Boston Marathon by raising money for recognized charitable organizations: http://baa.org/BostonMarathon/Charity.asp

A lot depends on whether you are a beginner or expert. 35 miles is the recommendation for first timers taking it easy; 70 miles is recommended for those who want to finish near the top. Here is a lot more info on training for your first marathon: http://www.findingdulcinea.com/features/feature-articles/2008/august/Get-Your-Marathon-On.html

Two explosions were heard near the finish line, 13 seconds apart at 2:49 p.m. EDT on Boylston Street in Copley Square. Spectators and runners were injured and many were taken to medical tents set up nearby to help tired runners. The bombs were pressure cooker bombs made by Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The blasts killed 3 people and injured 264 others.

There is no national or world standard. Races such as the Boston and New York City Marathons require all participants to be 18 years old, while other races require entrants to be at least 16, and a smaller % of races impose no age standards at all. It is generally considered unwise for people under the age of 18 to run marathons due to the damage incurred by immature bodies.

well the fastest maraton run was in 2h03:59 by Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia. 2h03:59 converts to 123m59s which converts further to 7439seconds. divide by 26 as there are 26miles in a marathon and you get 286.115 to 3 decimal places
