Durham Amateur Rowing Club had great success at the gruelling Boston Marathon held this year on September 20th. The Marathon route goes over 31 miles, or 50 kilometres, from Lincoln to Boston, initially along a canal and then on to the River Witham, the main problem apart from the distance being the amount of weed in the river.
Following on from an unbeaten year, winning every regatta they have entered, the masters D coxless quad of Julian Ringer, Richard Court, Paul Sowerby and John Lyons finished as the fastest crew of the day out of the 164 entered, and the overall winners of the event in a time of 3 hours 44 min 36 sec.
