route

Start of the marathon in the Stade de Colombes

After the start in the Stade de Colombes , the route led out of the stadium over the Seine on the Pont-Aqueduc de Colombes . We continued in a north-westerly direction to the control station in Val-Notre-Dame. Via Cormeilles-en-Parisis , the route led to Herblay-sur-Seine and then north to Pierrelaye . Passing another control station in Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône , the path over the Pontoise crossed the Oise and then turned in a north-easterly direction following the course of the river. In the district of Le Chou there was a loop, after which it went back to the stadium on the same route. Half a lap had to be covered there in the end.

Date: July 13, 1924, 5:23 p.m.

The start was delayed by two hours because the organizers were concerned about the health of the runners due to the heat and the incidents during the cross-country run of these games, the so-called heat battle of Colombes . Right at the beginning, the Greek Alexandros Kranis took the lead, followed by the Canadian John Cuthbert, the Japanese Kikunosuke Tashiro and the Swede Gustav Kinn. The favorites Albin Stenroos, Ville Kyrönen, Hannes Kolehmainen, Dunky Wright and Clarence DeMar held back on the first kilometers. At Herblay, DeMar shot up to the leaders. The French Georges Verger also went forward and took the lead at Pierrelaye to the delight of the French spectators. Stenroos, Romeo Bertini and DeMar soon followed suit. Verger's compatriot Jean-Baptiste Manhès also stayed in close contact. At the turn, Stenroos took the lead. Verger, DeMar, Bertini, the Italian Ettore Blasi and the Finn Lauri Halonen followed. While Stenroos was the undisputed front runner, Bertini and DeMar fought for second place, which the Italian finally won. Halonen could not keep up with the pace of the trio and finished fourth. Verger had already given up at Pierrelaye, while Boughera El-Ouafi, the best Frenchman, crossed the finish line in seventh place. Defending champion Kolehmainen could not work his way up to the leading group during the race and gave up about twelve km from the finish in 29th position.
