Episode Details

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.

For the 2027 event, hitting the time is just the first step—your final hurdle? A lottery ticket.
