Invitational runners must raise 50% ($5,000) of their fundraising minimum prior to February 2^nd. Once this milestone has been met, runners will receive our team’s official B.A.A. registration link as the final step in solidifying your spot! At this time, they will be responsible for paying the B.A.A.’s registration fee of $395. The deadline to register for the Marathon is February 8, 2024.

The deadline to meet the fundraising minimum is April 16, 2024.

Please Note:

• Once registered and an injury occurs or a runner chooses to not participate in the Boston Marathon as a charity runner for the National MS Society, they will still be held responsible for 75% of my required fundraising minimum by April 15, 2024.
• If a runner doesn’t reach the fundraising minimum requirement by the deadline, their credit card will automatically be charged the difference between the fundraising minimum and the amount they currently have raised.

If you registered for the Boston Marathon and received a bib as a qualified runner you can still join the team and take part in all the social activities, training program, fundraising blitz competitions, team dinner and our post-race celebration by fundraising a minimum of $1,500.
