The Boston Marathon includes well-researched briefs on topics including Metcalf’s Mill at Ashland, the unmarked starting point of the first race in 1897, the infamous 1967 battle over Kathrine Switzer’s attempt to compete five years before women were allowed, and other vital race-day elements. The book also includes a tribute to the victims of the tragic 2013 bombing near the finish line. This is a supremely entertaining glimpse at the history of the greatest running event in the world—from wacky entrants to hard-fisted managers, tortured disappointments, and glorious triumph.Edition: Revised EditionSubtitle: A Celebration of the World's Premier RaceItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 203mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 707gContributor: Bill Rodgers (Foreword by)Release Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
