Not the same person Below is Andrew Sockalexis
Do you have editing access to Wikipedia… or would you be willing to acquire it to help correct some important Maine running history?
{Ed Rise}Some of you know I am the author of what is the only full biographical book, called “NativeTrailblazer,” on the life of Andrew Sockalexis, the man who finished 2nd in the Boston Marathon in both 1912 and 1913, and 4th in the Olympic marathon at the 1912 Stockholm games. I self published the book in 2008…and it was reissued, in August of 2021, by Down East Books of Maine.
Anyway, my wonderful friend and Maine Running Hall of Fame member Larry Allen, recently pointed out to me some of the discrepancies on Andrew’s Wikipedia site…between my documented facts…and… some pretty wild, ridiculous myths spread by the individuals who are the principal contributors.
The Worst One: I address this one, in my book, as “The Race That Did Not Happen”…where it is alleged that Andrew Sockalexis beat the legendary Clarence DeMar (all-time men’s champion at the Boston Marathon, with 7 victories) in a race in Maine in 1916…beat DeMar and then collapsed at the finish line. In my book I offer five (5!) reasons why this race NEVER occurred.
There is an important reason why I, myself, can not be the sole individual to refute all of the particularly absurd stories presented as “facts” in Andrew Sockalexis’s Wikipedia biography. If you’d like to play a role in correcting THIS important Maine running history, please let me know.
