Sunday, September 29, was the 42nd annual Clarence DeMar marathon. The marathon is a 26.2 mile course that begins in Gilsum and ends on Appian Way at KSC. The marathon honors former Keene resident Clarence DeMar, who was known for running everywhere he went. He notably overcame health troubles and poverty and became a seven-time B.A.A. Boston Marathon champion, an Olympic medalist and an international running icon. To this day, no one has ever broken his record number of Boston wins.
