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. -

Boston Marathon Female Pioneers Return to Place They Started - the Boston Globe 4/22/12 2:11 PM
Boston Marathon female pioneers return to place they started - The Boston Globe 4/22/12 2:11 PM Female pioneers return to place where they started By John Powers Globe Staff / April 16, 2012 Forty years after they competed in the first official women’s race at the Boston Marathon, most of the eight finishers returned this weekend to commemorate their competitive breakthrough. “We knew stepping across that line we were making history just as our suffragette mothers did,’’ said Kathrine Switzer, who’d been shouldered aside in 1967 by race gatekeeper Jock Semple after she’d obtained a number as K.V. Switzer. Though women had run unofficially since 1966, when Roberta Gibb was the first recognized finisher, it took years of their lobbying to achieve equal status at the starting line. “The men accepted us,’’ said Nina Kuscsik, who won that day in 1972 after running unofficially the previous three years. “There was no problem with that.’’ How much gender equity has been achieved since? Of the 1,219 entrants in 1972 only nine were women. Last year a record 11,462 of 26,907 were. Their special bond To celebrate both that 40th anniversary and four decades of Title IX, Joan Benoit Samuelson, who won the inaugural Olympic women’s marathon in 1984, will run alongside 24-year-old daughter Abby Monday. “My marathoning now is all about storytelling,’’ says the two-time Boston champion, who set a world record here in 1983. “This is about mother-daughter bonding - until I can’t keep up.’’ Samuelson, who competed in the 2008 Olympic trials here and set a national age-group record, was considering running next weekend in London since it’s the site of the Games. -

Maine Running Hall of Fame Biographies: Through the Class of 2006
Maine Running Hall of Fame Biographies: Through the Class of 2006 Edited by Ed Rice Prince Memorial Library Cumberland, Maine 2021 1932 Houlton Cross Country Team No Small Potatoes As a result of some fine running by the Houlton cross country team in 1932, a few more people from outside Maine learned how to correctly pronounce “Aroostook,” and even others learned where Houlton, Maine actually was. That year a talented bunch of runners, coached by Clyde Stinson, won the national schoolboy cross country championship and put Houlton on the map. The story begins with a man who, until he went to the University of Maine at Orono, had set foot on the mainland of Maine only once in his life. Clyde Stinson had grown up on the island of South Deer Isle and entered the university in the mid-1920s, where he quickly became interested in running. On the same team as the legendary pair Bud Lindsay and Harry Richardson, Stinson’s cross country squad at Maine won three straight New England cross country titles, and in his senior year they took second in the national championship after finishing third the year prior. After graduating in 1929, Stinson took a job teaching chemistry at Houlton where he talked the principal into starting a cross country team. In 1930, Stinson’s boys won the County championship and placed fourth in the state meet. Then in 1931, they won the state championship, putting six runners in the top 10. Leading the way was Houlton’s senior Frank Sherwood, who set a new state record on the course. -

In Pursuit of Ghosts and Unicorns April Doesn’T Mean Just Spring
In Pursuit of Ghosts and Unicorns April doesn’t mean just spring. It also means it’s time to marathon. BY RON MCCRACKEN “It may be springtime in the Rockies, but it’s Marathon time out here…” —from a poem by Bertha Kelley, mother of Johnny “The Elder” Kelley h, yes, marathon Monday in Massachusetts, according to the governor’s proclamation, approaches once again. Time to chase ghosts and unicorns, Aurges the whimsical mind of many marathoners. “Bricklayer” Bill Kennedy, who won the 1917 edition of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon and ran it a few dozen more times, accurately captured the thoughts of his fellow runners obsessed with the annual trek from Hopkinton to Boston. In a 1932 letter to John Halloran of the Boston Globe, he philosophized, “The lure of the Boston race, Johnnie, is far greater than any in the country and, to me, the world. I can only speak of my own thoughts; but I have been close enough to run- ners for 30 years that I also know their thoughts, hopes and chances—to win the Boston Marathon, that is the dream of every runner. Sometimes I hardly believe I realized that hope 15 years ago; I am still dreaming, still building castles, and actually believe I am going to win again. “All marathon runners are dreamers; we are not practical. The hours we spend every day, every year! The strength we expend over long lonesome roads and the pot of gold we aspire to receive for it all! The end of the rainbow, Johnnie, is a survivor’s medal.” My pursuit of my ninth “survivor’s medal” this year begins, as always, when I arrive at my room at the old brownstone at 463 Beacon Street.
