We have added a non-binary category for the first time to all of our events in 2023. The two Georgina events are certified Boston Marathon qualifier marathons. Registration is open and now includes the non-binary category.
To qualify for Boston in the non-binary category, participants must run a qualifying time at a certified race in the non-binary category. Their website states:
“With this being our first year, we do not yet have enough data to establish non-binary qualifying times. Therefore, we will use the times listed below, as they are inclusive of the qualifying times for the two existing divisions. As we prepare for future races, participants can expect non-binary times to be updated accordingly. We view this first year as an opportunity to learn and grow together.”

Adding this category to our race(s) will also be a learning experience for us, and we are bound to make mistakes along the way. However, we believe running is for everyone, and are keen to do what we can to make our races inclusive for everyone who wishes to join.
If you have questions or ideas that will help us create a welcoming experience for all – please let us know. We are listening! georginamarathon@gmail.com
