📝 About Boston Marathon 2026
Continuously held since 1897, the Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon and one of only six World Marathon Majors. What sets Boston apart is its strict qualifying time requirement: runners must meet age-graded standards at a certified marathon to earn entry, making simply qualifying a badge of honor in the running community. The point-to-point course from Hopkinton to Copley Square in Boston features the notorious Heartbreak Hill between miles 20 and 21, a series of inclines that have broken countless runners at the most vulnerable point of the race. The 2014 edition, held one year after the tragic bombing, became a powerful symbol of resilience, drawing over a million spectators along the course.
