Boston Marathon UK
Boston, Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom
Boston Marathon UK is the Lincolnshire race: a flat road marathon through villages and countryside, with direct entry through the organiser. The latest route page describes a Market Place start and Boston College finish, but remains labelled 2026; wait for confirmation before treating that as the 2027 route. Much of the course uses roads open to traffic, which is an important detail alongside the agreeable elevation profile. Official maps, runner information and an aerial film help put the route in context.
