The Boston Athletic Association (BAA) acknowledged on Monday that while they don’t have the data yet to create new timing standards for non-binary athletes, they “are working on ways non-binary participants are accepted into the event.” For non-binary athletes, the qualifying standards will be the same as those in the women’s field. The BAA added that the “qualification times would be updated accordingly” in future races.’
