In an effort to provide the best medical care during your race experience, the B.A.A. asks you to please complete the following RaceSafe form. The B.A.A. Medical Team utilizes RaceSafe, an encrypted health and safety app, to coordinate medical care for any runners needing assistance.

We request that you please securely share your health information in an effort to assist us in case of emergency. Participation is voluntary, but this information may be lifesaving in a medical emergency.

Having access to information regarding your individual health history (e.g. allergies, recent medications) will allow our medical team to better care for you in the event that you require attention during or after the race. All information is kept confidential in compliance with the Protected Health Information/HIPAA Privacy Rules.

Please complete this brief questionnaire relating to your medical history and previous experiences during road races or training at your earliest convenience. Thank you, and best of luck in training!

Maurten: Boston Runs on Hydrogel

Boston runs on hydrogel.



As your training miles increase, this is the perfect opportunity to practice a race day fueling strategy using the same hydrogel fuel that will be out there on- course — Maurten Gel 100.

Hydrogel Technology has no colors, no preservatives, and no added flavors. It is clean fueling. There are just six ingredients in Gel 100 — less to iritate your stomach and only what you need to aid performance. Nothing more. 





As a Boston Marathon runner you can redeem 20% off your fuel at Maurten.com

by ordering with the same email address that you used when registering for the

race. The offer is automatically applied during the checkout process.  



Maurten has fueled the fastest marathon times in history. This is your time. 


While certain types of sports betting is now legal in Massachusetts, B.A.A. policy prevents participants, volunteers, employees, and others from wagering, directly or indirectly, on the outcome of any B.A.A. sporting event, including the Boston Marathon.
