Where to put your work
You have the target. Now build the athlete.
Your assessment shows you what the numbers demand. Built For Boston coaching helps you do something with them: training, strength, fueling, race execution, and adjustments built around your fitness, your race, and your life.
Explore Built For Boston →Standards shown are the current B.A.A. qualifying times. Meeting the standard only lets you apply — Boston accepts the fastest applicants until the field is full, which is why the buffer matters. Downhill courses with 1,500 ft or more of net elevation loss now carry a time adjustment at registration. This assessment is an estimate, not a training plan or a guarantee of acceptance.
MORE THAN A NUMBER
GET CLARITY. TRAIN SMATER. RUN FASTER.
This assessment gives you more than a qualifying time. It shows you where you are at, what it will take, and hot to get there with a plan that fits your life
