[USMA:44834] RE: Boston Marathon results in metric

[Jeremiah MacGregor]

The London Flora marathon is also metric and electronically times all the results at the same distances. 

You can check the results for the past years here:

 

http://www.london-marathon.co.uk/site/?pageID=2&article=40

 

Note, not a mile or foot to be found.

 

The people who survey and verify the route also do it in metric and 42.195 km is the official and legal distance.
