  • Ebook Duel in the Sun: Alberto Salazar, Dick Beardsley, And
    Ebook Duel In The Sun: Alberto Salazar, Dick Beardsley, And America's Greatest Marathon Freeware The 1982 Boston Marathon was great theater: Two American runners, Alberto Salazar, a celebrated champion, and Dick Beardsley, a gutsy underdog, going at each other for just under 2 hours and 9 minutes. Neither man broke. The race merely came to a thrilling, shattering end, exacting such an enormous toll that neither man ever ran as well again. Beardsley, the most innocent of men, descended into felony drug addiction, and Salazar, the toughest of men, fell prey to depression. Exquisitely written and rich with human drama, John Brant's Duel in the Sun brilliantly captures the mythic character of the most thrilling American marathon ever run―and the powerful forces of fate that drove these two athletes in the years afterward. Paperback: 256 pages Publisher: Rodale Books (March 6, 2007) Language: English ISBN-10: 1594866287 ISBN-13: 978-1594866289 Product Dimensions: 6.1 x 0.4 inches Shipping Weight: 9.6 ounces (View shipping rates and policies) Average Customer Review: 4.3 out of 5 stars 65 customer reviews Best Sellers Rank: #222,752 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #80 in Books > Sports & Outdoors > Other Team Sports > Track & Field #344 in Books > Sports & Outdoors > Miscellaneous > History of Sports #370 in Books > Health, Fitness & Dieting > Exercise & Fitness > Running & Jogging In 1982, Alberto Salazar and Dick Beardsley ran the entire 26.2 miles of the Boston Marathon neck and neck, finishing within two seconds of each other. For both, it was the pinnacle of a running career cut short, for Salazar because of a mysterious malaise, and for Beardsley because of a drug addiction that developed after a farm accident.

  • 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.

  • Johnny John J
    Johnny John J. Kelley was a lot of things to a lot of people but consistently a friend to all. BY RICH ENGLEHART ohn Joseph Kelley, who died on August 21, 2011, was the Jfirst American to win the Boston Marathon since the end of World War II. He shared most of a name with the last American to win the race before him, John Adelbert Kelley, who won the 1945 race. J. A. Kelley was still a force in American distance run- ning as John J. Kelley’s career was taking off, requiring those who fol- lowed the sport to devise a means © W.R. Hurshman L Johnny in his beloved Mystic during the sum- of distinguishing one Kelley from mer of 1980. the other. Thus, John A. Kelley became “John the Elder” and John J. Kelley became “Young” John Kelley. When John A. Kelley died in 2004, a couple of veteran runners and followers of the sport wondered whether it would still be necessary to refer to John J. Kel- ley as “Young” John. That Kelley was still a focus of conversation four decades after his career peaked is a testament to his stature in the sport. Amby Burfoot, the second American to win the Boston Marathon after World War II and a former executive editor for Runner’s World, called Kelley “the first modern runner.” It’s a description that invites contemplation. Kelley’s best running years extended from the mid 1950s to the early ’60s, a modern era compared with say, the Renaissance, but one that seems prehistoric in comparison with the current sport of long-distance running.
