We expect that the BAA will designate 2026 Boston Marathon invitational entries to the Mystic Runners. We do not know the exact number that will be designated. Last year, we were awarded two bibs. Based on this, the Mystic Runners will select two runners and two alternates for the 2026 marathon. We expect to know the exact number by early December. The marathon takes place on Monday, April 20, 2026.
Qualifications: See pages 3-5 of the bylaws on this page. There is also a handy marathon draw ticket calculator below.
Keep in mind that the cost is typically $300+ (exact fee to be determined + possible insurance and administrative fees). This cost is the runners’ responsibility. Per the BAA, entrants must live in the same geographic location where their running club is based. Absolutely no exceptions.
