Description
Early one summer morning in 1896, thousands of spectators gathered under overcast skies to watch what would become the world’s first city marathon.
The winner, by a street, was a brickmaker from Sittingbourne in south-east England.
He covered the distance 27 minutes faster than the winner of the inaugural Olympic marathon in Athens a few months earlier - the legendary Spyros Louis.
This is the story of Len Hurst, Britain’s first marathon champion.
