There is no national or world standard. Races such as the Boston and New York City Marathons require all participants to be 18 years old, while other races require entrants to be at least 16, and a smaller % of races impose no age standards at all. It is generally considered unwise for people under the age of 18 to run marathons due to the damage incurred by immature bodies.

Did Sarah Palin's father Chuck legally run the Boston Marathon?

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.
