Peachtree Road

Peachtree Road in Georgia is well known. So is running as a sport. There are many photos, some even date back to before the 1900′s. Here’s one of the Boston Marathon:

Earliest Known Photo of the Boston Marathon – 1904

Sammy Mellor is shown leading at 22 miles of the 8th running of the Boston Marathon. This amazing photo shows wonderful detail of children, bicyclists and horse-drawn carriages accompanying the leader. Its a shame Sammy dropped out of the race shortly after this picture was taken.
