It's that time of year! I encourage all Boston area hams to sign up, it's a great event to support and is almost like the Super Bowl of public service volunteering because of how many hams are needed to pull it off successfully.
How many you ask?
300!
Anyways, just do it!

Just got my acceptance for the 2026 #BostonMarathon !! Fifth year in a row. I'm sure the Boylston squirrels miss me. 🐿️
This year applicants had to be 4:34 faster than the qualifying time to get in. #running #Boston #marathon
The predicted #Boston cutoff is 5:07, and there is a 95% confidence it’ll fall between 3:52 and 6:21. My buffer is 2:51. It's very likely will not be running Boston 2026.
A major goal of mine has finally been met. I just registered for the 2026 #BostonMarathon.
I only have a 2:51 buffer which I don't think will be enough to guarantee my entry, but the fact that I was able to qualify and now register is a big first step.
I just have to wait a week before I get the confirmation or rejection letter.
