From time to time, questions arise on running forums concerning qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Questions such as:
* What percentage of U.S. marathon finishers produce a Boston Marathon qualifying (BQ) time?
* Are the qualification standards easier for women than for men?
* Are they easier for older age divisions than for younger divisions?
* Which races are more likely to produce a Boston qualification (BQ) performance?
Responses to such questions often either reflect individual experiences or opinions, are based on the results of a specific race, or attempt to relate comparatively to other sources of available data, such as the differences between men’s and women’s world records and age graded tables and calculators.
