About current B.A.A. downhill rules

For Boston Marathon qualifying, the current B.A.A. policy applies a downhill index beginning with registration for the 2027 Boston Marathon. Courses with a net downhill of 1,500 to 2,999 feet receive a +5:00 adjustment to submitted qualifying times, courses with 3,000 to 5,999 feet receive a +10:00 adjustment, and courses with 6,000 feet or more are not accepted for Boston qualifying. This course's total net drop is approximately 1,400 feet, which stays below those current B.A.A. downhill thresholds.

About record eligibility

Record eligibility uses a different standard than Boston qualifying. Under USATF and World Athletics rules, performances on road courses are not record eligible if the net drop exceeds 1 meter per kilometer or if the straight-line separation between start and finish is more than 50% of the race distance. In the U.S., the event must also be run on a USATF-certified course and as a USATF-sanctioned event for performances to be record eligible. That is why a course can still be accurately measured, fully certifiable, and useful for qualifying purposes, while still not being record eligible.

About course adjustments

Small course adjustments are a normal part of race planning and are typically straightforward to handle. Whether changes are needed for safety, construction, permitting, or logistics, most updates can be remeasured and documented without requiring a full restart of the certification process. These adjustments do not reset the course's expiration timeline. If your course needs to be updated, our team can assist with evaluating the changes, updating the measurement, and ensuring everything remains accurate and compliant.

A note from Laurel

Thanks for trusting us with your course measurement. We wanted to make the final handoff feel just as polished as the work behind it, so everything here is organized to be easy to review, easy to share, and easy to use.

If you would like, we can also help turn these assets into participant-facing course graphics or other race-day materials.
