Boston Globe (October 25)

Better training is helping more runners qualify for the Boston Marathon, but the limited number of spots is leaving some of them disappointed. The criteria for the nation’s oldest marathon are strict, yet the 26,800 spots were snapped up in less than a day. The Boston Globe believes several thousand spots could safely be added. “In the future, the Boston Athletic Association should adjust by modestly expanding the field, and resist the temptation to toughen its already strict qualifying standards.”
