Metcalf's Mill in Ashland to Boston, MA, April 19, 1921
Frank Zuna, a plumber of Czech descent, won the 24th Boston Marathon, which, however, was several kilometers short of the standard distance. His winning streak didn’t last long, as 1921 marked his sole victory in this 42-kilometer event, known as America’s marathon. At the Paris Olympics, Zuna finished 18th.
There was a Finnish presence among the top ten: Ville Kyrönen placed seventh, followed by Otto Laakso in eighth.
