Colonial Road Runners - Boston Marathon Waiver

APPLICATION FOR 2008 BOSTON MARATHON WAIVER

The Boston Athletic Association (BAA) has again given several Boston Marathon qualifying-time “waivers” to Colonial Road Runners, to distribute to our members. Those who receive the waivers do not have to meet the standard qualifying-time requirements. Instead, they are given a special “invitational” Boston Marathon application to file with the BAA. The registration fee for the invitational application was $200 in 2007.

CRITERIA:

All Colonial members are eligible to apply to the club for a Boston Marathon waiver and are encouraged to do so.
If you applied for a waiver in the previous year (2007), you are still eligible to apply again in 2008 regardless of whether you received one or not
In the event that the number of applications exceeds the number of available waivers, preference will be given to members who have:

(1) Belonged to the club for at least one full year,

(2) Volunteered in club activities during 2007,

(3) Been actively involved in club races and events during 2007.

(4) Have completed one or more races at least 20K (12.4 miles) or longer during 2007.
