The Race:
Our 2nd annual Charles River Marathon Invitational (CRMI) is held on the same course as the Charles River Marathons, but geared towards runners who've completed a marathon within 20 minutes of their BQ time since Jan 1, 2024. We will also offer a limited number of time-waived entries for fundraiser runners. This flat, fast, certified course attracts runners from across the United States and overseas to Boston's beautiful Herter Park. Over 73% of our 2025 finishers qualified for the 2026 Boston Marathon!
