Run on the same day as the more famous US marathon the Boston races have a very appealing factor… they are the flattest marathon and half marathon courses in the country… FACT.
This year is only the 3rd running of these events, but given the lack of elevation, the entry for them is set to grow and grow.
It was Lyn Snow that made the journey northbound to Lincolnshire. 170 miles away on the East Coast, halfway between Kings Lynn and Skegness, lies the port of Boston and the home of this new race.
Starting at the towns Market area the course meanders to Freistin and then Butterwick. It is here that the course splits as the marathoners head northerly along The Wash toward Wrangle, but our Lyn continued her journey out to RSPB reserve near the coast before returning to the finish at Boston College.
“That was a lovely flat run” Lyn tells us all on Facebook “Bring on Southampton Half!”
She finished in 3.09.26 – well done Lyn
