  • From Whence We Came
    From Whence We Came _________________________________________________________________________________________ The marathon took its inspiration from one of the greatest athletic feats in history. And the Christchurch Airport Marathon took its inspiration from one of the greatest marathons in history. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Marathon running, as we know it, hails back to Athens ______________________________________________ in 1896 and the first modern Olympiad. But the The first “City of Christchurch International Marathon” inspiration for this most classic of challenges hails back to a mythical Greek messenger named Pheidippides. Depending on which of history’s great bards you believe, Pheidippides ran 24 miles between Marathon and Athens to announce an Athenian victory in the Battle of Marathon. Upon delivering the message he dropped down dead, and so was born the great nobility of long distance running and the challenge they eventually dubbed “the marathon.” It was that great tale that inspired the first Olympic marathon and a quarter of a century later a similarly inspiring race took place right here in Christchurch. Like the marathon itself, the Christchurch Marathon ______________________________________________ was inspired by one of the greatest races in history; n With so many world class runners in the marathon field the 1974 Christchurch Commonwealth Games, on the the pace was always going to be fast.

  • 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.

  • Formation of the Sport of Athletics in Rotorua
    Lake City Athletic Club Inc A History by Pam Kenny Three clubs joined together in April 1991, to form the current Lake City Athletic Club Inc. A short history of the earlier clubs is shown first. Rotorua Amateur Athletic & Cycling Club / Rotorua Athletic Club 1931-1991 On the 13 November 1931 a meeting was convened at Brent’s Bathgate House to establish an athletic and cycling club in Rotorua. Thirty people were in attendance and the Rotorua Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club was formed, with the club achieving incorporated society status in 1938. Blue and gold were the club colours - blue singlet/blouse and shorts with gold “R” on the top. Weekly competitions were held at the Rotorua Boys High on a Friday evening, with the customary track and field events for the runners, with cyclists contesting both track and road races. Val Robinson winning an early ladies’ athletics meeting in the late 1940's The club went into recess during the Second World War, with activities resuming October 1944. Venues utilized between 1944 and 1960 were Harriers in the late 1940's - L to R; John Wild, Alex Kuirau Park, the old A&P Showgrounds near Uta Millar, Keith French, Harry Findon Street, Arawa Park, Pererika Street, and again Kuirau Park. 1961 saw the Club at Smallbone Park, its home until the 1983/84 season, when a move was made to the new International Stadium, though the inadequacy of the track led to a return to Smallbone Park for a season. 1986 it was back to the Stadium until sand carpeting of the ground prevented permanent lane markings and children being able to run barefooted.

    CENTRAL PARK TRACK CLUB THE FIRST THIRTY YEARS 1972 Dave Blackstone Lynn Blackstone Jack Brennan Fred Burke Cathy Burnam Arnold Fraiman Frank Handelman Marc Howard Fred Lebow Andy Maslow Jerry Miller Richart Miller Kathrine Switzer Robert Urie IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS DAVE… “In the early 1970s there were perhaps two dozen runners who trained regularly in Central Park, many of whom did not compete but had track or cross-country backgrounds and stayed in shape, for example, Frank Handelman, Bob Urie, Jack Brennan and myself. Through the late 1960s and early 70s the only team winning Met titles was Millrose, except in cross-country where the NYAC was dominant, fielding national-class runners. I thought it would be fun to organize these regulars into a team, so in September 1972, my wife, Lynn and I called a founding meeting in our apartment and Central Park Track Club was born.” — Dave Blackstone, founder and first president of CPTC That was the genesis of our club. During the The history of CPTC might be divided into two ensuing 30 years, that little band consisting of parts — BG and AG. Long before George Dave and Lynn, Ben Gershmann, Larry Wisniewski came on the scene, CPTC had a Langer, Judge Arnold Fraiman, Walter Nathan, definite presence in local competition.
