2027 Boston Marathon UK
England's flattest marathon — a single AUKCM-certified out-and-back through the Lincolnshire fens, Apr 11, 2027. Open first-come entry, ~6m climb, 6-hour limit, accredited qualifying times.
Boston's flat, fenland terrain makes for a fast, focused spring marathon, with the iconic Stump looming over the start and quiet rural lanes offering a rare sense of solitude. April here is mild and often breezy, perfect for a hard effort, and the town's market square and nearby pubs serve up hearty Lincolnshire fare—think sausages and fresh fish—to refuel after the finish.
