The 127th Boston Marathon is allowing non-binary athletes to register within their own division for next year’s race for the first time.
“The Boston Athletic Association is currently working on expanding opportunities for non-binary athletes at our events, including the upcoming 2023 Boston Marathon,” race organizers said on their registration website. “Entry into the event will be determined by an athlete’s submitted time and based on the Boston Marathon’s overall field size limit. The Boston Marathon registration application will feature the option to select non-binary in regards to gender.
“Discussions are ongoing with non-binary athletes in an effort to further promote inclusion at all BAA events,” race officials said. “With this being our first year, we do not yet have enough data to establish non-binary qualifying times. Therefore, we will use the times listed here, as they are inclusive of the qualifying times for the two existing divisions. “As we prepare for future races, participants can expect non-binary times to be updated accordingly.
