| Description: |
The eyes of the world watched as three runners - dirt poor Johnny Hayes, who used to run barefoot through the streets of New York City; candy maker Dorando Pietri; and the famed Tom Longboat - converged for an epic battle at the 1908 London Olympics. This title recalls a time when runners braved injurious roads with slips of leather for shoes. |
