  • 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.

    From: Mark Winitz Subject: PRESS RELEASE: 2017 Napa Valley Marathon Announces Elite Field Date: February 24, 2017 at 2:32 PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Contact: Mark Winitz (email) Win-It!z Sports Public Relations Tel: (650) 948-0618 THREE-TIME NAPA VALLEY MARATHON CHAMPION CHRIS MOCKO HIGHLIGHTS 2017 ELITE FIELD 39th Annual Race Will Also Honor Past Standout Dick Beardsley NAPA, Calif. — February 24, 2017 —The Kaiser Permanente Napa Valley Marathon (NVM) announced today that three-time men’s champion Chris Mocko (Mill Valley, Calif.) will return to world-renowned Napa Valley and anchor a small, but talented, elite field on Sunday, March 5, 2017. Mocko, age 30, has competed five previous times on the race’s fast point-to-point 26.2-mile course. He won NVM in 2011, 2012, and 2015 and placed second in 2014. In 2013 he placed 10th. Only one athlete to date has won NVM four times: Mary Coordt (Elk Grove, Calif.) who ran away with women’s victories in 1997, 2005, 2009, and 2010. Today, Coordt serves as NVM’s Elite Athlete Recruiter and Coordinator. “The Napa Valley Marathon is near and dear to me,” Mocko said. “I can’t think of a better combination of a challenging, but fast, course. The race offers beautiful scenery, great event organization, and the best prize for winners under the sun. And, the timing of the race has always fit well into my training schedule.” NVM rewards the male and female overall winners with their weight in premium Napa Valley wine. Open and masters winners also win specially etched bottles of Napa Valley wine as trophies to commemorate their status as Road Runners Club of America Western Regional Marathon champions.

  • The Running in Tanzania As an Economy
    Negotiating ‘Modernity’ on the Run Migration, Age Transition and „Development‟ in a Training Camp for Female Athletes in Arusha, Tanzania Aline Taylor _________________________________________ A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology University Of Canterbury August 2008 _______________________________________________________ Abstract Sports have recently been incorporated into international development agendas in a bid to „empower‟ women and foster gender equality. Considered a masculine domain, sports are argued to empower women by challenging the status quo and their „traditional‟ positions in societies. This thesis examines the use of sport in an athletic training camp for female distance runners located in Arusha, Northern Tanzania. Like other similar camps throughout East Africa, this training camp provides financial support for athletes, recruited from isolated rural areas, to live and train full time in the city. The camp was founded and is run by a Tanzanian couple, known as Gwandu and Mama Gwandu, but it has recently begun receiving financial support from an American development organisation. The director of this organisation, Karl, aims to empower the young women training in the camp by enabling them to use their sporting talent to further their education. This directly contradicts Gwandu and Mama Gwandu‟s goals, however, and they strive to enable the girls to improve their lives by earning money from running. The girls themselves perceive running as a unique opportunity to migrate to Arusha and distance themselves from their natal villages. The idea of earning money from running is secondary, for the girls, to the aspiration of settling permanently in the city.
