This depends on the event; however, times under 3:01:00 will qualify for "elite female" status at many, if not most, marathons as of spring, 2009.
Yes, if you use the Chicago Marathon 2010 as a qualifier for the Boston Marathon and your birth date is August 25, 1956, you can qualify using the 55-year-old female time. For the 2011 Boston Marathon, the qualifying time for women aged 55-59 was 4:00:00. If your Chicago Marathon time was 4:00:00 or faster, you would meet the qualifying standard.
3hrs 05min 00sec for men (18-34) 3hrs 35min 00sec for women (18-34)
A qualifying time of 3:30 was instituted for the 1971 Boston Marathon. Entry was also permitted for anyone who broke 65 min. in a 10-mile race.
It was set by Paula Radcliffe of the United Kingdom on April 13, 2003 at the London Marathon. The time was 2:15:25
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.
The average finishing time for the Boston Marathon varies by year and participant demographics, but it typically ranges from around 3:30 to 4:00 hours for most runners. Elite male finishers often complete the race in about 2:10 to 2:20 hours, while elite female finishers usually finish between 2:20 to 2:30 hours. Many recreational runners aim for times between 3:30 and 5:00 hours. Overall, the Boston Marathon is known for its challenging course, which can affect finishing times.

You'll get your answer after the running of the Mount Lemmon Marathon. http://www.mountlemmonmarathon.com/
Never during a marathon. Your body does not have the ability to metabolize fats into energy during the time it takes to run a marathon.
