Notes edit
- ^ Although the race's web site claims that the marathon was established in 1958, a number of other sources, including a statement regarding a memory of the race founder's son printed in a USA Track & Field publication, state that the race was founded in 1959.[1][2][3] In addition, both the Association of Road Racing Statisticians and the Asbury Park Press state that the inaugural race was held in 1960.[4][5]
