The Boundary Marathon first took place in 2008. If you can think of the Classic being the Bronze event and The Challenge as the Silver, then The Marathon will be classed as the Gold.
The event will roughly follow the coastline of England, Scotland and Wales a distance of approximately 2800 miles. The event runs between 1st January and 31st December
There is an entrance fee of £20 per rider and £20 per pillions. This is to cover the cost of a suitable memento and ‘T’ Shirt.
The riders and pillions are required to raise a minimum of £250 sponsorship each.
Those riders and pillions who also enter The Challenge or Classic will not be required to raise sponsorship money these additional events although any amount of sponsorship will be greatly received. They are still required to pay the entrance fee of £2 for either the Challenge or Classic.
