Past President Matt Robinson Qualifies for Boston Marathon
Dallas BA Past President Matt Robinson on Sunday, Nov. 8, qualified for the 2022 Boston Marathon, running an impressive time of 3:11:30 (a 7:18 pace) at the Fort Worth Marathon. His time was good enough for
third in his age group and 27th overall.
Matt battled some tough conditions on race day with the temperature, wind and humidity. These challenges were not new to him in his quest for Boston. Injury prevented him from attempting to qualify at the 2019 Dallas Marathon. His second attempt, at the Irving Marathon in March, was canceled due to COVID-19.
After 18 months of training, walking up at 5 a.m. every morning and running more than 1,600 miles so far this year, Matt certainly put in the work needed for this incredible accomplishment. The 2022 Boston Marathon is scheduled for April 18 of that year.
