Registration for Boston Marathon starts Monday

File

The 115th Boston Marathon is still months away but registration is getting started.

The Boston Athletic Association says online registration for the April 18, 2011, race starts Monday.

Entrants must meet the BAA's time standards, which vary according to age and gender. Qualifying standards for the 2011 Boston Marathon must be met on or after Sept. 20, 2009, at a marathon certified by USA Track & Field, or a foreign equivalent.

The registration fee is $130.

The field for the 2011 race is capped at 26,800. That ceiling was reached in just two months last year, and the field is expected to fill even faster this year.
