  2. Early 20th-century marathons found a starting line in Laurel [History Matters]

    From 1909 until 1939, marathons were run from Laurel to Washington or Baltimore. After the first few marathons, they not only became AAU-sanctioned, but the race was one of the qualifying marathons for the U.S. Olympic team. There was one constant in all those years: The starting line was in front of the Laurel Hotel on the corner of Main Street and Washington Pike (Route 1southbound).

  8. Celebrating Heroes Triathlon puts focus on athletes with physical disabilities

    The moving truck pulls around the loop next to the boat ramp of Centennial Lake, backing up to the water while trying to avoid wheelchairs and bikes. Eight men clamber out of the vehicle and quickly begin to set up metal barriers, tents and ramps underneath the sticky, June sun. They turn the grass in front of the water from an ordinary spot in a park into a large stage in less than an hour, a finish line looking down on the stage from about a hundred yards away.
