Mount Marathon Race, 4th of July 1948





One of the oldest footraces in the country, the Seward Mount Marathon race is held every Fourth of Julyand is an important part of our cultural heritage. Millie was quite enchanted by the gang of rancers climbing to the top and hurling themselves down the steep mountainside in a controlled fall. She made a point of watching it every year. http://ap.alaskajournal.com/stories/state/ak/20070705/182443721.shtml
