11.3% of Marathon Finishers Qualify for Boston

602 of the 5,332 Chevron Houston Marathon finishers (11.3%) posted finishing chip times that meet the qualifying standards for the 111th annual Boston Marathon in April.

Please note that this does not include runners whose age on the day of the running of the Boston Marathon may be in to the next age group, which would allow them additional minutes to qualify.

The per age group breakdown is as follows:

18-34 -- 91 men, 72 women
35-39 -- 48 men, 32 women
40-44 -- 65 men, 50 women
45-49 -- 75 men, 43 women
50-54 -- 52 men, 17 women
55-59 -- 24 men, 5 women
60-64 -- 12 men, 2 women
65-69 -- 7 men, 1 woman
70-74 -- 4 men
75-79 -- 2 men (only finishers in that age group!)

Total -- 380 men and 222 women
