You can see the list of local men and women running below. Four of the runners participated in the 2019 Boston Marathon — the last time the race was run. Their 2019 times are noted below.

Race officials said the marathon will return back to its traditional Patriots Day date beginning next year. Runners this year will not be required to wear a mask while racing, but they will need to wear them on buses to and from the race. Masks will also be required and provided in all medical tents along the 26.2-mile route. Runners – and everyone else – will need to wear masks indoors as part of Boston's indoor mask mandate. That includes the Boston Marathon Expo at the Hynes Convention Center in the three days leading up to the race. Volunteers who will have direct interaction or close proximity with the runners must wear masks. Some will be provided additional personal protective equipment.
