The history of the Marathon
race in Seward is pretty well
tangled with fact and memory
at the present time. A serious
effort is being made to untangle
the story, and anyone who has
any records, clippings or actual
knowledge of the early races is
asked to communicate with the
4th of July Committee or the
newspaper.
The date of the first running
is obscured, but it was appar
ently in 1916 or 1917. The story
goes that a wager of SI 00
I was made by a groeeryman by
the name of Gus Borgen. to the
effect that the mountain could
be climbed and the man return
to a given point in town within
an hour. The men betting for
and against the deal would none
of them make the try. but a
young clerk at Brown and
Hawkins, A1 Taylor agreed to
settle the matter by climbing
the mountain. He made it up
and back to town in 1 hour 20
minutes. Whether he received
anything for settling the bet is!
not known.
The bet and feat of the climb, j
however became famous among
miners, construction men and
sailors, and within a year the
race was established as an ann
ual event for the 4th of July,
and the mountain received its
name from the event.
Mel Horner, now of Moose
Pass, but who at the time ran
a hotel in Seward was one of the,
first judges. There is a picture!
taken of him at the top of Mara-1
tlion handing a check to Erik
Eckman in 1925 as he rounded
the peak. Eckman won the race
that year, and made a record!
which is disputed by the friends
of Epheam Kalmakoff. Eckman'sj
time was 52:15 while Kalina-,
koff's time was 52:35 in 1928. i
There was a difference of one,
block in the starting place how-1
ever, which could account for
the 19 seconds difference in
running time. Kalmakoff started
and ended at the theater corner
(Washington and Fourth), while
Eckman’s start was from the
bank corner, and the finish was
the same point. Eckman died
about four years ago in a fire in
Seward. Kalmakoff died shortly
after his race. i
Alex Bolam. Ed Vogle, John
ny Hughes. Benny Benson, Andy
Peterson, and Max Shallabarger
are other names remembered as
winners of the Marathon Moun
tain race, but their running
times are not certain, and until
those who still live in the neigh
borhood can be contacted per
sonally, a definite record can
not be established.
Sidelights on the race in the
past bring out the prowess of
the winners. Max Shallabarger
won a boxing bout by a knock
out that night after winning
the mountain climb. Ralph
Hatch won the Anchorage mara
thon race immediately after
winning the Seward race, and
others did the same.
No outsider, that is, no one
not living in Seward has ever
won the Marathon race here, but
anybody who cares to take up
the challenge of the local men
is invited, if he is physically
eligible.
Oldtimers tell us that the
face of the mountain is more
rugged now than it was years
ago. The south side is creased
with deep gullies, and many
slides of snow and shale have
made the climb more difficult.
Ralph Hatch, a local boy, grad
uate of Seward High School,
and four time winner of the
race, has made a poorer showing
each year. The mountain chang
es with the years and has to be
reconnoitered to decide the
best route. Local men who plan
to try the course begin training
early so as to be in top form
by the 4th of July. Hatch is a
formidable opponent, as he
knows the mountain inch by
inch, and his race in the past
has been a beautiful thing to
watch: his form is perfect.
PLAN WEDDING FOR
JULY OR AUGUST
Although the actual date of
wedding has not been set, Miss
Beverly Bauer and Mr. Cletus
Callahan are going ahead with
all the other arrangements for
their marriage which will take
place some time in July or
August. The uncertainty about
the date is caused by the fact
that it is not yet known when
Miss Marjorie Bauer, the bride
to be's sister, will be able to
come from California. She is
to be the maid of honor at the
ceremony. Mr. Warren Bauer,

A little story of a great love . . .
When you see in a Catholic
church, or home a picture or statue
of our Blessed Savior with arms I
outstretched in invitation, with
heart glowing with love and bleed-j
ing in anguish, you are witnessing
the sequel to a little story of a
great love nearly 300 years old.
In a convent in France in 1673,
a humble littie nun had the one
I great love experience of her life;
i and requited love it proved to be,
! for her beloved Jesus appeared to
j her in flesh and with detailed
j directions made her the instrument
of spreading throughout the world
the beautiful Devotion to the
i Sacred Heart.
i The account of the Divine Vislta
i tion was first doubted, then inves
| tigated, and finally officially recog
; nized by the Catholic Church. That
j is why today Christ’s own direc
! tions to her whom we now venerate
as St. Margaret Mary Alacoque,
are being fulfilled in every land.
That is why the Feast of the
Sacred Heart is celebrated on a
special day every June. That is
why on the First Friday morning
every month millions of Catholics
take into their breasts their God
in Holy Communion and spend an
evening hour adoring His Real
Presence exposed under the ap
pearance of bread.
In essence the devotion to the
Sacred Heart means the recogni
tion and appreciation of the God
Man's love for ns (symbolized by
His Sacred Heart) and the return
of our love to Him in reparation
for our own sins and for those of
the millions who ignore, deny, or
hate Him. In this beautiful act of
worship Catholics try to heed the
plea of Jesus Himself, who said to
the humble nun: “Do you at least
console and rejoice me by supply
ing as-much as you can for their
ingratitude.”
There is nothing more Godly in
Heaven than God’s love for man.
There is nothing more manly on
earth than man’s love for God.
Jesus Christ loves us and has told
us so. If we love Jesus Christ
should we not tell him so?
"Oh Sacred Heart of Jesus, I
implore that I may ever love Thee
more and more!”
