How to Get Into the World Marathon Majors (Part 1)


Listen Later

Here’s your guide to getting a race bib for the Tokyo, Boston, London, and Sydney Marathons! Our next episode will focus on Berlin, Chicago, and New York.

The Abbott World Marathon Majors is the most prestigious marathon series in the world, hosting over 250,000 runners per year, and millions applying for a bib. Many runners in our audience are working toward their Six Star Medal (Angie only needs 1 more star).

There are basically 4 ways to get into each marathon as a non-elite runner.

  • Enter the lottery
  • Run for charity
  • Qualify with a fast time
  • Travel with a tour company
  •  

    But as you will hear, there are many exceptions, nuances, and backdoor ways to get into the Majors. We hope you enjoy this episode!
