About this edition
Aggressive racing by Clarence H. DeMar resulted in a new course record and his sixth win as the field grew to 285 entrants. DeMar took over in Natick, 10 miles into the race, with Philadelphia’s Bill Wilson nipping at his heels until 18.5 miles. DeMar slowly pulled away, and crossed the line in 2:37:07, while celebrated miler Joie W. Ray finished third.
