  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

  • A Brief History of the World Cross Country Championships by Ken Namaura the First 70 Years the World Cross Country Championshi
    A Brief History of the World Cross Country Championships By Ken Namaura The first 70 years The World Cross Country Championships, often considered the toughest footraces on the planet, may be more difficult to win than the Olympics or the World Championships in Athletics. The predecessor of the World Cross Country Championships was the International Cross Country Championships, inaugurated in 1903. With only four countries (England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland) initially participating, these championships could hardly be considered “international” during their early years. However, by 1972, when 197 runners from 15 countries competed, the championships had gained international stature. Three great runners — Jack Holden (GBR), the 1950 European marathon champion; Alain Mimoun (FRA), the 1956 Olympic marathon champion; and Gaston Roelants (BEL), the 1964 Olympic 3000mSC champion — each won four individual titles during the days of International Cross Country Championships. In the women’s event, Doris Brown won five straight championships from 1967 to 1971. Many Olympic medalists won the International Cross Country Championships. Jean Bouin (FRA), who won the silver medal at 5000m in the 1912 Olympics, won three championships from 1911, while Mohammed Gommoudi (TUN), who was second at 5000m in the 1968 Olympics won the International Cross Country Championships in the same year. Franjo Mihalic (YUG), Rhadi ben Abdesselem (MAR), and Basil Heatley (GBR), all Olympic marathon silver medalist, won the International Cross Country Championships. However, because participation was generally limited to runners from nations that were members of the International Cross Country Union (ICCU), the championships were not truly “world” in scope. In fact, Emil Zatopek (CZE), 1952 Helsinki triple gold medalist, and Vladimir Kuts (URS), 1956 Melbourne double Olympic champion, never competed at the International Cross Country Championships.
