Only 17,000 runners have completed all six World Major marathons, a challenge known as the World Majors Six Star challenge. The average age of finishers is 51 with the youngest finisher at 27 years old (2023 Boston Marathon) and the oldest at 86 (2023 London Marathon). In short, it’s never too late to start your Abbott World Marathon Majors journey! Because these are some of the world’s most popular races, it takes an average of 7.5 years to complete the Six Star journey. For example, 165,000 athletes entered this year’s NYC Marathon lottery and just 4% were selected. Odds are also slim for time qualifiers, as NYRR stated only the fastest 19% of runners within each age and gender group were selected. Completing this challenge requires tons of training and even more patience. This guide helps you sort out how to get into the six Abbott World Marathon Majors. 🔗 in bio to read the blog. #marathon #chicagomarathon #nycmarathon #bostonmarathon #sixstarfinisher
