Flat Hills Road

Everyone has mentioned, in their Boston roundups (including mine) how the women’s winning time was the slowest since 1985.

Everyone mentioned in their previews that no American (male or female) has won the Boston marathon since 1985.

Nobody has mentioned that 1986 was the first year that the Boston Marathon awarded prize money.

I do not think these things are unrelated.
