Trans-American Footrace : ウィキペディア英語版 | Trans-American Footrace One of the earliest twentieth century multiday races was the inaugural Trans-American footrace which took place in 1928 starting at Legion Ascot Speedway in Los Angeles and finishing in New York City in Madison Square Garden for a distance of 3,423.5 miles. Out of the 199 runners who left Los Angeles, California on March 4, 1928 at 3:30 p.m. only 55 runners finished on May 26, 1928. The race took 84 days to run from coast to coast. It was called the Bunion Derby by the newspapers and was also held in 1929. Runners included Paul Hardrock Simpson and Andy Payne who won the event in 573 hours, 4 minutes, 34 seconds. The race was organised by C. C. Pyle. Harry Abrams, who arrived in 11th place, repeated the feat in the opposite direction in 1929 (he came 9th), becoming the first and possibly the only person to twice run across the continental United States. ==Recently== A coast to coast race has taken place several times since including four races organized by Jessie Dale Riley & Michael Kenney 1992-95. Alan Firth organised two events in 2002 and 2004.
