Marathon

Marathon

Clarence DeMar

Published in 1937, Marathon is the autobiography of Clarence DeMar, who between 1911 and 1930, won the Boston Marathon seven times and finished second twice. Also a three-time Olympic marathoner, DeMar gives page after page about his further races and accomplishments. DeMar prided himself on his family, job, and work with young people. "One point of my philosophy of life has been never to let running interfere with my daily work," he wrote. Marathon is a simple, honest reflection of DeMar's outlook on life and a mixture of running history and insight. So many years later, we can still learn and be inspired by DeMar's example.
