Summary
Boston Marathon just got a wild twist: even if you hit the qualifying time, you’re not guaranteed a spot—1,000 lucky runners will be randomly selected from the qualified pool. With demand skyrocketing and bibs limited, the BAA’s rolling out this lottery to keep things fair. It’s a tough pill to swallow for those who’ve trained hard, but it’s a necessary move to handle the race’s growing popularity. For the 2027 event, hitting the time is just the first step—your final hurdle? A lottery ticket. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
