BOSTON ÛÒ The 15th annual B.A.A. Half Marathon
will be held on Sunday, October 11, beginning and ending at BostonÛªs
iconic Franklin Park. Having long been New EnglandÛªs most prestigious
half marathon, the B.A.A. Half Marathon has showcased
some of the worldÛªs best runners, including Boston Marathon winners and
World Championships gold medalists. This year, the race will feature a
field size of 8,500 participants, with registration beginning on
Wednesday, July 15, at
www.baa.org.
Similar to 2014, there will be a random
selection component to the registration process for the race when
entries are accepted next week.
There are 2,640 runners currently pre-registered
though the B.A.A. Distance Medley (B.A.A. 5K, B.A.A. 10K, and B.A.A.
Half Marathon) registration, which was held in January. Up to 700
runners will comprise the Dana-Farber Fundraising Team,
and each of those team members will raise at least $750 for the Jimmy
Fund. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund have been the
event’s presenting sponsor since 2003. Once the elite field and other
invitational entries are filled, this will leave
approximately 5,000 entries available through online registration on
July 15.

10:00 a.m. ET, and 2,000 entrants will be accepted on a first-come,
