[[File:Ernst F. Van Dyk in 2014 Boston Marathon.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ernst van Dyk]] has won the Boston Marathon 10 times, more than any other athlete.|alt=Ernst van Dyk]]
The [[Boston Marathon]], one of six [[World Marathon Majors]], is a {{convert|26.2|mile|km|adj=on|sigfig=3}} race which has been held in the [[Greater Boston]] area in [[Massachusetts]] since 1897, making it the oldest annual [[marathon]] in the world.
The event is held on [[Patriots' Day]], which was April 19 (or April 20 if April 19 was a Sunday) until the implementation of the [[Uniform Monday Holiday Act]] in 1971. Since 1971, except in 2020 (race not held) or 2021 ([[Columbus Day]] holiday), the Boston Marathon is held on the third Monday in April. Various factors meant that until 1957 the course varied in length, due to which the marathon recognizes several course records that are slower than previous records due to being run on longer courses.<ref name="history">{{cite web |url=https://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/history |title=History of the Boston Marathon |publisher=[[Boston Athletic Association]] |access-date=June 6, 2020}}</ref><ref name="course-records">{{cite web |url=http://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/boston-marathon-history/course-records.aspx |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130502222301/http://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/boston-marathon-history/course-records.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-05-02 |title=Boston Marathon History: Course Records |publisher=[[Boston Athletic Association]] |access-date=May 17, 2020}}</ref> The first Boston Marathon included only 15 runners, all of whom were men, and was won by [[John McDermott (runner)|John McDermott]].<ref name="history"/> The race was cancelled twice, in 1918 because of [[World War I]], where a [[ekiden]]-style [[relay race|relay]] was conducted of military teams, and in 2020, when Massachusetts authorities refused to allow the event to be conducted due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref name="wbur">{{cite news |url=https://www.wbur.org/news/2020/05/29/boston-marathon-canceled-what-to-know |title=4 Things To Know About The Cancellation Of The Boston Marathon |last=Ashlock |first=Alex |work=[[WBUR-FM]] |date=May 29, 2020 |access-date=June 6, 2020}}</ref>
