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.

“I guess you know, Bob, that if I see you again, I’m just going to start shooting and figure it’s self-defense.”
—David Webb Peoples, screenwriter. Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman)
“The lifelong process of caregiving, is the ultimate link between caregivers of all ages. You and I are not just in a phase we will outgrow. This is life—birth, death, and everything in between.... The care continuum is the cycle of life turning full circle in each of our lives. And what we learn when we spoon-feed our babies will echo in our ears as we feed our parents. The point is not to be done. The point is to be ready to do again.”
—Paula C. Lowe (20th century)
