The last Boston Marathon took place April 2019. And finally, this legendary event is back, in person. For every participant who gets an entry to Boston, it's a victory all its own: you can't just sign up for Boston, you have to earn your way in. This year, getting an entry was harder than ever. Pandemic concerns saw the field limit cut by a third. For this series, we follow the stories of 9 women who did get an entry, from how they got started running in the first place, through to earning their Boston entries, and how they are living the marathon life as they prepare for this legendary event. Get an inside look at what goes in to getting to the start line of the 125th Boston Marathon.
