FindMyMarathon.com Launches Annual Boston Marathon Cut-off Time Prediction Contest

ATLANTA - EntSun -- FindMyMarathon.com, the leading online resource for marathoners, has announced the launch of its yearly Boston Marathon Cut-off Time Prediction Contest. The competition, now open for submissions, invites runners and running enthusiasts to predict the qualifying cut-off time for the 2026 Boston Marathon.

This year's contest takes on a new level of challenge following the Boston Athletic Association's (B.A.A.) announcement of new, stricter qualifying standards for the 2026 race. For all age groups under 60, the qualifying times have been adjusted to be five minutes faster. These significant changes make predicting the final cut-off time more complex and intriguing than ever before.

Known for its comprehensive tools to help runners find, compare and pace marathons, FindMyMarathon.com is once again turning to the public to solve a problem that has historically stumped its own experts. "We've tried to predict the cut-off time in the past and failed miserably," according to FindMyMarathon.com, "so we're once again leaving it to the running community to predict the cut-off time." To assist participants, the site provides a wealth of data, including historical cut-off times, non-acceptance numbers, and qualifier statistics, all of which are now more crucial than ever for making an accurate prediction.

Participants must submit their predicted cut-off time (the time in minutes and seconds equal to or below the standard qualifying time) and a tie-breaker guess for the number of non-accepted qualifiers. The grand prize is a $100 USD Visa Online Gift Card, with second and third place receiving $50 and $25 gift cards, respectively. All valid entrants will also be entered into a random drawing for a $25 Visa Gift Card.

Entries will be accepted until Friday, September 12, 2025, at 10:00 am ET. Only one entry is permitted per person.

The winner will be the person whose prediction is closest to the official cut-off time announced by the B.A.A. Tie-breakers will be determined by the accuracy of the non-accepted qualifier prediction, and in the case of a further tie, the submission time will decide the winner.
