This Boston Marathon Qualifier, was designed for one reason and one reason only...to give you one last chance to qualify for Boston! This is the final qualifying weekend before general registration opens for the Boston Marathon.

We're proud to announce that the Beantown Marathon was ranked #16 out of almost 500 marathons in the US in 2025 for the highest BQ%, with an impressive 33% Boston Marathon qualifier rate and a PR Score on findmymarathon.com of 97.09!

The Beantown Marathon has a max participation of 500 runners and sells out every year! Last year in 2025, the event sold out over 4 months in advance and had a wait list of hundreds of others that wished they would have registered sooner. So don't wait to get signed up!

ABOUT BEANTOWN MARATHON

MITCH G, MA

"This race is very well organized, and held in a beautiful setting, with a very chill atmosphere. It was a lot of fun to run even in pouring rain, and I recommend it to both experienced runners who want to go fast, and newer runners who want to gain experience!"

THOMAS K, MA

"The Beantown Marathon is an excellent location and very scenic. Having the race being lopped through the beautiful park helped with planning when to exert extra effort. Staff was also very friendly and energetic!".

BENEFIT BOSTON CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL

Chris Ruggio is running the 2026 Boston Marathon for Boston Children's Hospital Miles for Miracles team.

Chris' daughter, Holly, has been a patient at Boston Children’s since she was a toddler, when she was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. JIA is a chronic condition with no cure, so her treatment focuses on managing joint inflammation, swelling, pain, and tenderness.

Thanks to the exceptional medical care, therapy, and support she has received at Boston Children’s Hospital, Holly has grown into a happy, confident teenager who continues to thrive despite her diagnosis.

Chris has run 14 marathons, and the 2026 Boston Marathon will be his second time running Boston. Later this year, he also hopes to run Berlin as part of his goal to earn the Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star Medal, which includes Boston, Berlin, London, Chicago, Tokyo, and New York City.

While each of these races has been an incredible experience, Boston is especially meaningful to Christ. It’s a world-class event, and there’s nothing quite like running such a prestigious race in the place he calls home, with friends, family, and teammates cheering him on.

Every marathon Chris has run has been in support of charities focused on children’s health and well-being. With the generosity of friends, family, colleagues, and now all Wicked Fast Race Co events, he's raised more than $70,000 to date. For Boston 2026, he's proud to be running with the Boston Children’s Hospital Miles for Miracles team. He runs to help children like Holly receive life-changing care, and to offer hope to families facing difficult diagnoses.
