| How Much Money If You Win Boston Marathon |
The Big Bucks Breakdown:
First things first, the big kahuna: winning the Open Division (the pros) nets you a cool $150,000. That's enough to buy a decent used spaceship (assuming spaceships are sold used) or, you know, a very nice vacation. Second place snags a hefty $75,000, which is enough to retire your running shoes (and maybe a few other pairs you haven't worn since high school). The top ten finishers all get a slice of the pie, with tenth place still walking away with a respectable $5,500.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Wheelie Winning:
Let's not forget our wheelchair champions! They zoom across the finish line just as impressively (probably way more impressively, considering they're doing it in wheels, not feet). The top winner in the Wheelchair Division takes home a sweet $40,000.
Masters of the Marathon:
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
Feeling a little seasoned but still crushing it? The Masters Division (runners over 40) has its own prize structure, with the winner banking $5,000. Now go treat yourself to that new knee you've been eyeing!
