Boston Marathon 2009 Registration Now Open!

With participation capped at 25,000 entrants, registration for April's Boston Marathon opens tomorrow at 9 a.m.

To be accepted for the 113th running of the historic race, athletes must meet the designated qualifying time for their age group or secure a number from a charity approved by the Boston Athletic Association. Registration for the most recent Marathon closed in late February, and organizers expect slots to go even quicker this time around.

Following past tradition, the race will be held on Patriots' Day on April 20 and will begin in Hopkinton.

For more information, please visit www.baa.org. Applications can also be requested by sending an e-mail to registration@baa.org.
