Is the Irving Marathon a Boston qualifier?
The race calls the course fast, flat and scenic and promotes it for Boston qualifying. Boston accepts times only from USATF-, World Athletics/AIMS- or equivalently certified courses, and the race site doesn’t list a certification number, so confirm it with the race before you count on a BQ.

What is on the Irving Marathon course?
Water stations with water and Electrolit and porta-potties about every 1.5–2 miles. Marathon and half stations also have pickle juice, bananas and oranges.
What is the Irving Marathon 2-Day Challenge?
Run a Saturday 5K or 10K and the Sunday half or marathon for the 2-Day Challenge medal and an Irving Marathon jacket, an add-on limited to the first 1,000 participants. Every finisher gets a medal, and the marathon pays $200, $150 and $100 to the top three men and women.
Can I transfer or defer my Irving Marathon entry?
