…ran a 2014 or 2015 marathon - within 10 minutes of their 2016 Boston qualifying time.
…ran a 2014 or 2015 half marathon - at their 2016 Boston qualifying pace.
Randy will tour the loop course eight (8) times so this is the ultimate fan friendly course!
Randy's wife Denise is comfortably under the qualifying mark for 2016 Boston so she will be leading the cheering section, not on the course.
Randy has met the qualifying standard for a fourth straight Boston race but lowering his time will increase his chances of getting to the starting line (the cutoff changes based on demand for spots).
The billing for the nationwide "BQ.2" program:
America’s #1 Boston Qualifying Marathon
America’s #1 Qualifier – Over 60% of 2014 finishers qualified
America’s #2 Fastest – 3:34 average 2014 finishing time
In addition to his 50+ marathons and Boston qualifying achievement, Randy was part of our Hood To Coast Team.
