Registration for 2015 Boston Marathon closed

Registration for the 2015 Boston Marathon has closed, the Boston Athletic Association announced Wednesday, and no additional registration periods will be available.

The BAA had originally announced that if space remained after a series of registration periods designed to let the fastest qualifiers enter first, there could be an additional registration period open to all qualifiers and conducted on a first-come basis beginning Sept. 23. But with the field size for the 2015 event reached through a series of registration periods that ended Wednesday, a final session will not be held.

The BAA increased the size of the field for the 2015 Marathon, which will be held April 20, to 30,000. It was capped at 36,000 last year because of increased interest in the first race after the 2013 Marathon bombings, but had been at 27,000 from 2009 to 2013.
