Remarks:
- At that time, records were not kept in marathon running and street walking because of the different track conditions with the exception of championship records.
- Son Kee-chung, owner of the world best performance, was compulsorily started under the name Kitei Son for Japan during his time as an active player . His country Korea had been under Japanese rule from 1910 to 1945.
- The running distance here in Oslo was only 40.2 km instead of the 42.195 km prescribed for the marathon. Thus, the times achieved were not on the best list, Mikko Hietanen's time could not be recognized as an EM record.
