FOURTH OF JULY
TIME MADE B1 ATHLETES FOR
ROUND-TRIP ON MOUNTAIN
SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE
Tomorrow, as one of the annual
events included in the 4th of July
program, will be conducted an ath
letic event, which, if held anywhere
in the states would attract nation
wide attention.
The Marathon mountain race
which calls for the scaling of a
mountain that rises an even 3,000
feet from the streets of Seward, is
not only remarkable because of its
uniqueness, but it is a feat which
demands the utmost physical con
dition of the hardy lads that stay
in the pace usually set by the lead
ers.
Even the stroller who becomes
ambitious enough occasionally to
< »imb up to the crest of the moun
tain, registers his or her accom
plishment in the log up there and
j descends again in half a * day for
ithe round-trip, is amazed to see
I athletes of Seward and vicinity,
'complete the trip in less than an
i hour.
; As spectacular to watchers as
* any athletic event can be, the spec
' tutors of Seward’s Marathon moun
tain race are fortunate in that the
runners are plainly visible from the
streets for three-fourths of the dis
. i.
k dance.
! The'start tomorrow will be made
h'rom the corner of Fourth Avenue
land Washington streets, and after
l turning into Lowell creek canyon,
’ drom where the runners take to the
• nearest shoulder of the mountain,
' and it’s a shear one, they will be out
' of sight until timberline is passed,
about POO feet altitude.
1 From, here, all the way to the top,
like tiny white spots against the
1 grey rocks and shale, the runners
: are watched and cheered as they
1 .*\ake their way around hug bould
ers ar.d over precipitous crags, to
I a 100-foot straight-away stretch, at
the end of which awaits a timer
erom whom slips of paper with
tbeir time marked on them, are
matched bv the runners as they
whirl around and begin the descent
which is usually made in less than
ilO minutes!
It is the opinion that the descent
i 's more spectacular than th& climb,
and as the runners leap into the
1,500 shally pit to the left of the
mountain, this seems amply justi
fied.
As the first of the runners bursts
into view again on Adams street,1
then to the corner of Fourth Ave
nue down the last lap to the finish
line, roars of encouragement will |
emit from the throats of the I
watchers lining the avenue; and 1
| as they flash across the line each
jin his turn will be caught by some ]
one, coats thrown over them and |
escotirted to waiting car and home. ]■
Its one of those spectacular j
events which once seen is never f
forgotten. The time made for the
round trip sounds impossible but
wait and see for yourself.
