EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the world of marathon racing. Taken on 3 April 1909 in New York, it showcases the intense anticipation at the starting line as six renowned runners prepare to embark on an extraordinary test of endurance. From left to right, we see a lineup of legendary athletes who have etched their names into the annals of running history. Leading the pack is Alfred Shrubb, an English long-distance runner known for his exceptional speed and stamina. Beside him stands Pietri Dorando, an Italian athlete whose determination would later make him famous. Henri St. Yves represents France with his poised stance, while Tom Longboat proudly represents Canada as one of its most celebrated long-distance runners. Johnny Hayes and Matthew Maloney complete this remarkable group, representing America's strong presence in this grueling footrace. The image exudes a sense of excitement mixed with nerves as these brave competitors await the sound that will signal their departure into unknown territory. The turn-of-the-century backdrop adds charm to this snapshot from a time when marathon racing was still relatively new but already capturing hearts worldwide. This print serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience and determination in pursuit of greatness – qualities that continue to inspire athletes today.
