Marathon Man?
Not quite, in fact, I'm only half a marathon man..
I'll be running the Amsterdam Half Marathon as number 15291, and I expect you all to come and watch me :-P
Who won the first marathon in Amsterdam? a history lesson..
" On 5 August 1928 Boughèra Mohamed El Ouafi won the Amsterdam Olympic marathon, finishing in 2.32.57. ..While the time run by El Ouafi, whose coach gave him ten guilders and told him to 'go and have a good time in Amsterdam', is no longer cause for commotion, the marathon phenomenon still appeals to millions of people."
