Frequently Asked Questions
A Boston Qualifier is a marathon where an eligible finish time can count toward Boston Marathon qualification. Meeting your qualifying standard lets you apply; it does not guarantee entry.
Select Western States 100 in the race search, then confirm the event, distance, qualifying window and required finish time on the official Western States qualifying list. A qualifying finish supports lottery eligibility, not guaranteed entry.
UTMB Index status alone does not award Running Stones. Those require finishing an eligible UTMB World Series Event or Major.
