  • Last year's prediction for the 2025 Boston Marathon cutoff was within 6 seconds of the actual cutoff.
  • This year's updated model predicts a buffer of 5 minutes and 16 seconds for the 2026 race, based on 33,267 applicants.
  • The prediction assumes the BAA will allow 24,000 time-qualified runners.
  • An interactive tool is provided to estimate the cutoff time based on different numbers of time-qualified runners.
