2024 Boston Marathon has 20 entrants from Livingston County
There are 20 Livingston County residents on the entry list for the 128th Boston Marathon Monday.
If all 20 show up on the start line in Hopkinton, Mass. and reach the finish line in downtown Boston, it would nearly double last year’s total of 11 finishers from the county.
Of the 20, Cathy Markham of Brighton, Pamela McDonald of Howell, Ken McLaughlin of Whitmore Lake, Scott McLean of Pinckney, Cristina Noble of Brighton and Justin Zanotti of Howell finished last year’s Boston Marathon. Other entrants are previous Boston finishers.
In most cases, it requires a qualifying time at a certified marathon to race Boston. Among the exceptions are charity runners.
The fastest qualifying standard is three hours for men ages 18 to 34. The slowest is 5 hours, 20 minutes for women 80 and older.
Only two of this year’s Livingston County entrants broke three hours in their qualifying marathon.
Aidan Bustillo, 23, of Brighton raced the 2023 Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City in 2 hours, 31 minutes and 9 seconds. The former Brighton High School cross country runner took 13th place overall.
Zanotti finished Boston last year in 2:47:12 to requalify for this year.
The fastest female qualifier from the county is Christine Heckler, 43, of Howell. Heckler ran the 2023 Mt. Charleston Marathon in Las Vegas in 3:05:38.
