State's first 'marathon' celebrated with 100th anniversary run
(Portland Press Marathon)
The 100th anniversary of Maine's first marathon is commemorated with a 23.26 mile re-creation of the initial event in Rockland, Maine. This August's celebration is not a race, emphasizes event organizer Gary Allen, but a no-entry-fee, group run. Numbers are of little concern to Allen, who notes that he only wants the occasion to be saluted, that after all the race was run by the few in the first place, and that he would happily run by himself, if it came to it.
