So this is what confuses me. You can look at the most recent results. There were 14578 male finishers in the most recent Boston Marathon. 7000th place was 3:29:24. 14000th place was 5:29:37.
How do these runners get into the race if they needed to go 3:03:00 (or whatever the current number is) to qualify? I'm clearly missing some piece of important information!
