The Olympic Marathon of 1904 — Mass Chaos in St. Louis

from The Twaddling Along Podcast · host Daniel McBride

It's that time of year when you start making goals for yourself. Well…The Twaddling Along Trio is also thinking about how to better ourselves, too. We thought we’d try our hand at running a marathon, until we came across this absolutely crazy story on how a marathon can go REAL bad. Join us as we delve into a past that includes rat poison, stolen peaches, drunk Cubans, cutoff shorts, cheating, lying, and more at the 1904 Olympic marathon. This is a fun one.
