Spring Chance BQ.2 Marathon

Runners from over 30 states, Canada, Mexico, and a handful of other countries come to Spring Change BQ.2 and Last Chance BQ.2 each year to make their Boston dreams come true.  Over 50% of finishers do just that, taking advantage of the course, the weather, and the perks to beat their qualifying times and get a chance to register for Boston.

Spring Chance BQ.2 is an April race designed for runners who have trained all winter and are ready to qualify early and take the pressure off of their summer.

The Spring Chance BQ.2 is here to give you your best chance at crossing the finish line not just within your qualifying limit, but with enough time under to get you to the starting line in Hopkinton.
