2010 Boston Marathon Lottery

See B.A.A. Agreement

We have once again received an allotment of Boston Marathon invitational entries from the BAA, as we do each year, and plan to conduct our annual lottery for those entries at the December meeting. Members who wish to enter the lottery should send a check for $20, payable to GFRC, to Barry Ostrow, 6 Braeburn Lane, Ashland, MA 01721 by December 1st. Although we refer to this as
our "numbers lottery", what the winners actually receive is a BAA entry form in which the qualifying time has been waived. The recipient will need to pay the Invitational Entry fee listed on the entry form to the BAA.   ($250 if paid by February 1, 2010 and $300 from February 2 onwards.)  The numbers that are subsequently sent out by the BAA will place the recipients behind the qualified runners at the start of the race .Please use the lottery form located here.

 Remember, volunteering increases your chance of getting a number! The form should accompany your $20 check to Barry. Those entering the lottery must read and agree to the BAA requirements listed on the form, which include certifying that they able to complete the entire 26.2 mile course within approx 4 hours, 30 minutes and also that a BAA number may not be transferred.
Please take this seriously; do not abuse the club’s ability to receive these qualifying time-waived numbers!

Receiving an invitational entry through the GFRC gives the runner the opportunity  to run for a charity with a much smaller solicitation minimum.  The officers of the GFRC encourage invitational application recipients to take advantage of this and donations now available through the Give Back Program.
