The race must be certified as accurate and also apply to be a BQ but results can be manipulated and done however.
Look, I think Boston is cool and all but it is the Valentine's day of Marathons. Completely a marketing event. Granted it works
Ok, lets say I go through all of the red tape of getting it certified and all. So theoretically I can add anyone to the results as a race director can even give them legit looking splits. BAA should just take the process a bit more seriously, that's all I'm saying.
And I get your point about Boston being the Valentine's Day of marathons but I've heard from many friends that its an amazing experience and I can't wait to finally run it next year after 3 years of working my butt of to qualify.
