MARATHON RACE HISTORY

a given point within an hour.
None of the men betting for
and against the deal would make
the try. lunvevi r. Then a young
clerk at Brown & Hawkins'
store, A1 Taylor, a g r e e d to
settle the matter by climbing
the mountain, lie made the as
cent and return in 1 hour and
20 minutes. Whether he received
an\ part of the money bet is
not known.
The wager and Taylor’s run,
however, became the topic of
conversation up ami down the
coast and the feat (but not the
man) was recounted by sailors
and construction men to the ex
tent that every ship had its
champion al'U r putting in at
the port ol Seward.
To settle disputes on the cham
pionship, townsim.i set aside
the 4th of July as the official
day on wnicii a record would be
kept of the running time for the
climbing of Alt. Marathon.
Mel Horner, now living in
Moose Pass, who at the time
operated a hotel in Seward, was
one of the first judges. There is
a picture taken of him at the
top of Marathon Mountain hand
ing a check to Erik Eckman in
192a, although a copy of the
Seward Gateway of that year
proclaims the winner to have
been Edward Vogl, with running
time of 57 minutes 49 seconds.
The same article states that in
1915 Alee Bolam made a record
of 54:12.
Eckman is said to have made
a record time of 52:10, which is
disputed b\ friends oi Epheam
Kalmikoff. who claim for him
that his time was the best at
52:35. Kalmikoff died of tuber
culosis sum in iths after run
ning the race.
Height of the mountain is
given as 3.000 feet. but it has
been establ as 3.022
feet. There ah > was a difference
of a block or so in the starting
point.
No outs:u r t 1 Alaska has evt r
won the Alt. Alarathon climb,
aiilio Harold V. al-ki r of Kan>.»»
came in third in 1951.
In recent years, a native son
of Seward h. - h Id the title for
five consecutive \ irs. winning
in 1947 unt.i last y ar, when he
1 D St . an Atha
basca India:’ from Xu la to on
the Yukon. Stu-kma i s time last
year \va >0:33. 1 t rjn g 11;
run by 2 95 minut s.
Both Hate.: :. id SBckman
have been training or: the moun
tain for several we* ks, as has
Walker, and Satur .ay's event
is expected to break all records.
The race can b* watched from
almost any point in Seward
w i t h o u t the aid of glasses.
Walky -talky arrangements this
year will, however, keep watch
t i s informed of the progress at
all points mi the mountain.
Visitors are informed that the
descent is usually the most ex
citing part of the race, as it is
made in from 12 to 20 minutes,
and is quite often the deciding
factor.
Contestants are privileged to
choose their own course and to
train on the mountain, but are
not allowed any artificial assist
ance such as climbing irons or
poles.
College athletes are warned
again that this is a professional
race and participation may cloud
future amateur standings.
Mr. and Mrs. Fiovd Evans
left during the week for a vaca
tion trip to Fairbanks. They
planned to drive over parts of
the Ti rritorx thov have not
.n-e:i, and also visit relatives in
Fairbanks.
