Start Point
The current start is a set of landing stages at Stamp End Lock, Waterside South, Lincoln, opposite the home of Lincs FM, and also the location of the Lincoln Rowing Centre, which was only founded in 2006 after many years of the Marathon being the only rowing hosted in Lincoln.
The race is also a favourite for its witty T-Shirts: "It's long and hard" being a classic reused for the 2006 marathon.

“Beauclerc: You’ve got a good memory for one who drinks.
Eddie: Drinkin’ don’t bother my memory. If it did, I wouldn’t drink. I couldn’t. You see, I’d forget how good it was. Then where’d I be? I’d start drinkin’ water again.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
“He left the name, at which the world grew pale,
To point a moral, or adorn a tale.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
