How would a person illegally run a marathon? Assuming he did not get money for doing so, why worry about it? To qualify for the Boston Marathon, you have to qualify in a marathon that is sanctioned by the Boston Marathon Association. Once you have qualified, you may enter the Boston Marathon. It is the only one that requires a qualifying time in order to enter. Many runners train hard to make the qualification time and are frustrated if someone jumps in the course and runs it illegally. There is no money involved, just hard, honest training.

Considering that only about 500K people have ever run the Boston Marathon in over 115 years, the answer is not very many. If we're looking at just the US population, then that would be less than 0.2% of all Americans will run in the Boston Marathon. If we're looking at worldwide population, then it would be less than 0.0001% of the world will run in the Boston Marathon.
Heartbreak Hill is located in Newton, Massachusetts, along the route of the Boston Marathon. It is a challenging incline that falls between miles 20 and 21 of the race course, just before the finish line in Boston. Many runners find this hill to be a significant test of their endurance and mental strength.

catherine ndereba Many of the best long distance runners are from African countries but probably the most famous was the Ethiopian Abebe Bikila who won the marathon in 1960 and 1964. In 1960 he ran it in his bare feet.
