About this edition
On another unseasonably warm day, French-Canadian Edouard Fabre overcame the 84-degree temperature to win in 2:31:41. With one-third of the starters dropping out, Fabre, who finished second the year before, ran behind the lead runners in the early going and did not take the lead until Kenmore Square, one mile from the finish. Fabre passed Cliff Horne, a Haverhill, Massachusetts, resident who had taken over the lead with just 2.3 miles remaining. Horne began to tire from the effects of the intense heat, and Fabre ran past him for the victory.
