Open reg from oct to dec. Charge a $10 processing fee and let in the best 26,385 runerns weighed by sex and age as seen in the big races of that year. So if 40% of the people that finish marathons in a year are women, then 40% of boston should be women. If 10% of the people that finish marathons are age 40 to 44, then 10% of boston should be 40 to 44. Note: I think finishing a Marathon means running it so all times greater than 5 hours should not be considered in the weighting. This means each year the qualifying time will be different but then the boston would represent the best. Oh and charity should be allowed in but those runerns should have the class to say if they did or did not qualify when they tell people that they run boston.
