"Last weekend I ran to Ditto and back in two and one half hours," the military doctor commented. "It gave me a little confidence and helped silence some of the razzing I was getting from the other officers." The Marathon is the most famous of races, the epitome of ' endurance and the amateur spirit. Other competing amateur events attract star athletes only by paying their expenses generously. But the Marathon, sponsored by the Boston Athletic Association each Patriots' Day (a state holiday enlivened by parades and costumed Minutemen), grows in appeal from year to year even though it charges a $2 entry fee and provides only a laurel wreath and gold medal to the winner. To the next 34 finishers go small trophies or bronze medals, while all those who finish in under four hours receive a certificate attesting to their race time and placement.
