Going backwards from the 700 yard point (Queen Victoria’s statue at the bottom of Castle Hill), through the grounds of Windsor Castle, to arrive on the path by the East Lawn. The place reached was consistent with the race start scene depicted in contemporary photographic evidence and the official report reference (p.74) that “The race was started on the East Lawn”, strongly indicating the marathon course had been accurately measured in 1908 and run in full. 3990: 2280: 2249: 877: 2807: 1812: 826: 2125: 4243: 3233: 3117: 2962: 2435: 1070: 713:
distance in the stadium was shortened from a full lap of the track to 385 yards (352 m), and the total distance became officially "about 26 miles plus 385 yards on the track". A modified version of the Polytechnic Harriers' April 1908 map was issued in June 1908 incorporating the changed ending and omitting the "Long Walk" start used for the Trial Marathon.

The April 1908 map shows the intended finish, though the White City stadium was not yet complete at that time.
