built 199 days ago
The 2008 Boston Marathon will include a separate start for top female competitors. The Elite Women's Start (EWS) will begin prior to 10 a.m. and performances from this start will be scored separately from women starting at 10 a.m. Open and masters division women who consider themselves eligible for prize money in the 2008 Boston Marathon must declare themselves as a contestant for the EWS start. They may send an email to ews@baa.org for further details on format, eligibility, regulations and instructions. Race officials can assist in determining which start - EWS or 10:00 a.m. - is most appropriate. Prize money will be awarded to contestants in the EWS only. Women who choose not to start in the EWS give up the right to compete for prize money.
