It was the first marathon to be run regularly over the distance of 26 miles, 385 yards which is now the global standard. A total of eight world marathon bests were set in the Poly, including the first authenticated time under 2 hours, 20 minutes which had been regarded as the marathon equivalent of the four-minute mile. At the time of its demise in 1996, the Poly was Europe’s oldest regular marathon. It had seen more world records and had been run over more often than any other marathon. ==Origin== The Polytechnic Marathon had its origins in the marathon of the 1908 Summer Olympics, held in London. This race was organized by the Polytechnic Harriers, the athletics club of the Polytechnic at Regent Street in London (now the University of Westminster). In those days, there was no set distance for the marathon; it was simply a long race, around in length. The Polytechnic Harriers decided to start the Olympic marathon in front of the Royal apartments at Windsor Castle and end it on the track at White City Stadium in front of the Royal Box, a distance that turned out to be 26 miles, 385 yards. There was immense public interest in the 1908 Olympic race, with its dramatic finish in which Dorando Pietri of Italy entered the stadium well clear of the field and staggered around the last lap to the finish line—only to be disqualified for receiving assistance. Building on this interest, ''The Sporting Life'' newspaper offered a magnificent trophy () for an annual international marathon that would be second in importance only to the Olympic event itself. The Polytechnic Harriers were again asked to organize the event, and the Polytechnic Marathon was born. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Polytechnic Marathon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
