Jaunt in Park Now a Run for Money
ONCE upon a marathon, they gathered in Central Park, a runners oasis in an asphalt city, 126 men and one woman, each determined to complete four loops that marked the course. Long distance runners were considered eccentrics when the first New York City Marathon was held in 1970, their achievements greeted with indifference, their sport an object of derision. Who in their right mind would want to run 26 miles 385 yards. That was even a long way to drive. Gary Muhrcke, a former city fireman who now lives on Long Island, was the first to cross the finish line on Sept. 13 that year. He received a wristwatch and a trophy. And although most New Yorkers still have not completed a marathon nor do they intend to try, enough have laced on a pair of running shoes and helped the marathon outgrow its modest start to become a spectacle that might be unparalleled in road racing. Today is Marathon Day, the way New York celebrates St. Patricks, Columbus and Thanksgiving Day. With a parade. As many as 20,000 runners may be at the starting line on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge for the 17th marathon, beginning a tour of the five boroughs, with a national television audience looking on.

Taking the Long Route
Libbie Hickman, the top qualifier for the Olympic marathon trials Saturday, eased into her running career. The daughter of an oil company executive, she finished high school in Cairo. Track and field season usually consisted of one meet, against other Americans attending international schools in places like London or Germany. Mostly, she played basketball. Egyptian women and girls would approach her in the gym and touch her blond hair and tell her it felt like silk. There was not much distance running to be had in Cairos searing heat. And while it was O.K. to train in shorts inside the high school compound, to do so on the streets sometimes clashed with Muslim custom. Once, Hickman said, she was jogging on the roads in a Cairo suburb when a car drove past and one of the passengers reached out slapped a friend of hers on the behind. Hickman said she picked up a rock and hit the back windshield of the car.. Article on runner Libbie Hickman in view of upcoming Olympic marathon trials in Columbia, SC; photo (M)
