minardi. Nov 2015 11:43am, 17 Nov 2015 3,183 posts	0 minardi. It appears that the UK (& Lincolnshire in particular) is getting its very own Boston Marathon - www.bostonmarathon.co.uk 17th April 2016 with entries opening on 1st December through the website. It will be flat (doesn't matter where the route goes, it WILL be flat) but it is also likely to be rather windy. Other than that, I know nothing!

Rosehip Nov 2015 2:21pm, 17 Nov 2015 6,042 posts	0 Rosehip If they post some details up about cut-offs etc I could be tempted, but as a long rying to race so I'd want up to 6hrs or so ( being optimistic re winter training etc!)

Flatlander Nov 2015 3:52pm, 17 Nov 2015 254 posts	0 Flatlander I'm another one already entered in the Manchester marathon, but perhaps 2017. I agree with Ted and RH, there are very few details at the moment, really just the route. Even the date hasn't been fixed definitely.
