AIMS was launched in 1982 with only 28 members. Today there are more than 235 races in over80 countries and territories. Ageing is becoming a big issue in many countries. To address this, governments focus on methods of prevention rather than medical treatment of illnesses. Running has been regarded as foremost among these. It is an important aerobic exercise, which yields consistent health improvements. Running tourism is another strongly emerging trend. Today there are more and more ‘global runners’ who love running in different countries. As a result of these developments we are again experiencing a running boom. Running has become very popular not only in Europe and the USA but also in South America, Africa and Asia. It is beginning to spread very much further around the world than has ever previously been the case. At this time, we should remember the founders of modern city marathons. These 4 included Fred Lebow of New York, Will Cloney of Boston and Chris Brasher of London who also took the initiative in forming AIMS. Without their leadership and wisdom, we would not be where we are and what we are today. I take this opportunity to express our sincere respect for these leading figures of the running movement. We will never forget the philosophy of our founders, but we will be active in pursuing new directions required by the running movement. In cooperation with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) we will take a leading role in promoting running throughout the world, to meet the challenge of the next 25 years. We appreciate your continuous support for AIMS and we wish great success to all our AIMS members. Thank you. Hiroaki Chosa 1982 TO 2007 25 YEARS OF AIMS Words of greeting from Lamine Diack, President of IAAF Dear friends, IAAF, as a close partner of AIMS, is delighted to note the impressive growth in road running in every part of the world. More and more citizens are realising the wonderful benefits that come from running, not only in terms of health but also in the sense of personal well being and “belonging”. City administrations, local sports federations and sports clubs, and individual promoters have also recognised that road races, and especially the big city marathons, offer tremendous opportunities not only in terms of health benefits but also as ways to attract tourism. The biggest marathons are also incredible charity fund raisers. Between them, they have raised hundreds of millions of dollars for humanitarian causes and community services. In short, I believe that road running and the road race community as represented by AIMS is nothing less than a social phenomenon and I am determined that IAAF will work increasingly closely with the road running world over the coming years. Because of the increasing desire by IAAF to become more closely involved in the world of road running, it was agreed that a new IAAF Road Running Commission should be created, consisting initially of the members of an existing road running working group, including myself and other IAAF representatives but also the President of AIMS and the race directors of the London and New York City marathons. This formalisation of the partnership between IAAF and the road running community is just the start of what I believe will be a new era in co-operation. Lamine Diack 5 1982 – 1984: The birth of a movement Start of the legendary Boston Marathon in the 1980s. © Fay Foto/Boston Marathon BY ANDY GALLOWAY AND DAVID MARTIN T he Association of International Marathons (AIMS) was officially founded during the first Congress of AIMS, later recognised as “the Establishing Congress”, which took place in London’s Park Lane Hotel on 6 – 7 May 1982. The idea of such an association had been developed earlier. At the London Congress William Cloney of the Boston Marathon was elected as the first president. Then, as well as today, the objectives of AIMS were: • To foster and promote running throughout the world. • To work with IAAF on all matters relating to international Marathons. • To exchange information, knowledge and expertise among members of the Association. The success of AIMS can be attributed to following these three basic principles. AIMS was born as a concept some time before it adopted the name. At a meeting of international marathon race directors an alliance known as the ‘International Marathon Race Directors’ (IMRD) was formed. That had happened back at a meeting held on 11 – 12 December 1980 at the Princess Kaiulani Hotel in Honolulu. Another meeting of this group followed in New York in October 1981. It did not take much longer before AIMS was officially established. At the Honolulu Marathon on 10 – 11 December 1981, a meeting of race directors of various marathons who were present was called to consider forming an association to further the idea of Montreal Marathon Race Director, Serge Arsenault, to establish a ‘World Circuit’ of Marathons. Serge’s idea was that these events would be drawn from five geographical regions: The Americas, Africa, Asia-Oceania and Europe (divided into two zones). Top runners would compete in three marathons each year over a two-year period so that they would over that time race in all zones. They would be awarded points according to their time and placing and an overall male and female World Marathon Champion would be decided, with appropriate rewards at the end of every second year. 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1982 TO 1984 New York City Marathon 1984 © www.photorun.net Those attending that meeting at Honolulu’s Surfrider Hotel were: Serge Arsenault (Montreal Marathon), David Benson (Honolulu Marathon), Will Cloney (Boston Marathon), Fred Lebow (New York City Marathon), Chris Brasher (London Marathon), Anders Olsson (Stockholm Marathon), Vince Regan (Pony British Marathon Manchester), Jack Waitz (Oslo Marathon), David Martin (Atlanta Marathon), Pros Slachmuylders (Antwerp Marathon), Michel Lukkien The first AIMS Newsletter was issued in 1982. 8 (Rotterdam Marathon), Hans Albrecht (Nike race coordinator), Dennis McCarbery (Los Angeles International Women’s Marathon), Chuck Lichter (Los Angeles International Marathon and Culver City Marathon), Sid Silver (Jimmy Stewart National Relay Marathon), Don Basham, Bill McIntosh (Vancouver Marathon), Hyon Joon Yoo (Seoul Marathon), Jose and Dawn Werneck (Rio de Janeiro Marathon), Allan Steinfeld, Debora Greene, Merle Myerson (New York Road Runners Club), Hajime Yuki (Osaka Ladies Marathon), Raymond Lorre, Alain Lunzenfichter (Paris Marathon), Alvin Chriss (observer TAC/IAAF affiliations), Kathrine Switzer (Avon Women’s Marathon and running circuit), Nina Kuscsik (TAC Women’s Long Distance Running Committee), Rod Rutherford (Christchurch Marathon, New Zealand), Ian Gamble, Pat Munro (Auckland, New Zealand) and Andy Galloway. Galloway, who was to become General Secretary of AIMS, was the race director of the Hamilton Marathon in New Zealand. He was asked to attend and act as mediator between Christchurch and Auckland who were in dispute, both wanting the same date for their events. At that initial meeting, a steering committee was formed to look at the feasibility of a “World Circuit”. Much correspondence took place over the ensuing months, but the idea was eventually dropped. It is interesting to see that today this idea has been resurrected in the joint “World Marathon Majors” initiative between London, New York, Chicago, Boston and Berlin. In Honolulu participants had already agreed on many points that formed the basis for the future 1982 TO 1984 association. Boston’s Will Cloney was the moderator in Honolulu. In the minutes of this meeting it is noted that the name should be “the Association of International Marathons”. AIMS was to consist of events of the standard marathon distance (42.195km or 26 miles and 385 yards). An ‘international marathon’ was described as a race which had at least one runner from a country other than the marathon’s host country. New York’s race director Fred Lebow argued that other kinds of events could be included later. The structure of the organisation was discussed in Honolulu. The steering committee was to become the future Board of Directors. Initial membership fees were set at $1000 for full members and $500 for associate members. Annual dues after that were half of these fees. Individual membership was $100. It was 25 YEARS OF AIMS agreed that the Association would be non-profit and that AIMS’ first annual organisational meeting would be held in London in May of the following year. In between the meetings in Honolulu and London there was an ad-hoc meeting on 20 April 1982, in conjunction with the Boston Marathon. In the meantime the Articles of Association of AIMS were prepared for the meeting in London held in the Park Lane Hotel on 6 – 7 May 1982. Those present at what was referred to as the ‘First Congress of AIMS’ were: David Benson (Honolulu Marathon), Tsunemichi Nishima (Tokyo Int’l Women’s Marathon), Ted Paulin (Big M Melbourne Marathon), David Saidi (Tel Aviv Marathon), John Drew (Nike Christchurch Marathon), Rick Panell (Australia Marathon Championship), Bob Bright (America’s AIMS – THEN, NOW AND THE FUTURE THEN: AIMS was set up in 1982 to foster and promote road running throughout the world. The Association started with relatively few members. Most races had little or no interest in the participation of foreign runners outside of the top elite competitors. There was no global communication system for race directors and no international magazine promoting the world’s marathons. Global running tourism was a relatively unknown concept. On the technical side there was no uniformly accepted system of measurement for races. Without prescribed rules for measurement runners could not be confident that races were of the advertised distance. There was no central source of information on good practice in the organisation of road races. A group of people – including visionaries like Fred Lebow, Will Cloney and Chris Brasher – addressed these issues by bringing race directors together to share experience and expertise. They explored their mutual interests in the promotion of marathon running throughout the world. The outcome was a concerted effort to encourage runners to participate in foreign races as a means of meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. NOW: AIMS now has 235 members in over 80 countries, covering every continent of the world. Foreign runners are recognised as an important group, participating in races throughout the world and bringing real diversity to races. Their participation has a significant economic impact, boosting the profile of the race and benefiting both the local and the national economy. Studies of some of the larger events have estimated such impacts at up to and above $100 million. AIMS has created the world’s only truly global running publication, Distance Running. This full-colour magazine is published quarterly and targeted to runners through AIMS member races. Each year around 400,000 runners receive the magazine free of charge in this way. Newsletters sent out to members are produced ten times yearly, allowing race organisers to remain in touch with developments elsewhere. AIMS member races provide expo space for the use of fellow AIMS members in promoting their events. The AIMS calendar of races that is produced for Distance Running and displayed on the AIMS website is also featured in many running magazines around the World. The AIMS website has a huge number of visitors each year. AIMS adopted and popularised the ‘calibrated bicycle’ method of measurement of road race courses that was later embraced by the IAAF as the international standard. AIMS has ensured that all AIMS member road races are measured to exacting standards so that runners have confidence when they run an AIMS race that it will be the right distance. AIMS has begun to establish an event management manual that will be a global template of good practice on how to manage a race. The fastest times in the world for the marathon for men and women are Paul Tergat’s 2:04:55 and Paula Radcliffe’s 2:15:25. These times are now registered as world records because AIMS pioneered the AIMS/Citizen World Fastest Times Award and then prepared and proposed the criteria for world records that were adopted by IAAF. AIMS Statistician David Martin has established a format for road race performance statistics throughout the world and created a 25-year record of global running performance that catalogues the development and progress of performance within the sport. IAAF recognises the leading role played by AIMS in developing a standard method of measurement and in managing its implementation. IAAF recognises that AIMS has created the major global communication medium for the sport of road running and as a result has become a partner in the publication Distance Running. AIMS is represented on the IAAF Road Running Commission, dealing with important issues concerning the development of the sport and ensuring AIMS member races have a voice in policy matters concerning their sport. AIMS has set up children’s races in Africa and Asia in partnership with member races in order to encourage the next generation of runners at all levels of abilities to enjoy the positive self esteem and health benefits that a life of sport and good health can bring. AND INTO THE FUTURE: AIMS confidently expects continued growth. Before long AIMS will embrace over 300 races around the world. Particularly strong growth is expected in geographic regions where running had not previously enjoyed great popularity, such as the Middle East, India, and China. To support the swelling popularity of organised running events AIMS will further develop its website-based advice so that it becomes recognised as the definitive instruction manual of race organisation. An information and research arm will be established to gather information and highlight good practice in order to assist road races to improve and innovate. The resulting information will be used in updating the AIMS event management manual. AIMS will continue to develop an email database of runners for promoting member races and the sport as a whole. Various particular aspects of participation will demand detailed study, including the economic and touristic impact of road races and a demographic analysis of road running. Further investment will be made in the development of the next generation of road running talent in developing nations. Participation of women in road races will be studied in order to increase the number of women involved in the sport. AIMS will act as a channel through which cultural diversity can be promoted and prejudice opposed. AIMS will promote running as a positive force in addressing the problem of obesity that besets the populations of many countries. 9 25 YEARS OF AIMS Marathon/Chicago), Ken Richardson (Vancouver Int’l Marathon), Bill Deacon (Aberdeen Milk Marathon), Ray Oliu (Barcelona Marathon), John Holt, Jon Wigley, Maria Hartmann (International Amateur Athletic Federation), Haarvard Hordlie (Oslo Marathon), Bob Dalgleish (Glasgow Marathon and IAAF), Horst Milde (Berlin Marathon), Hajime Yuki (Osaka Ladies Marathon), Cherie Swenson (Oakland Marathon), Hyon JoonYoo (Seoul International Marathon), Colin Maclachlan (New Zealand Amateur Athletics Federation), Pros Slachmuylders (Marathon Antwerpen), Claude Haegi, Francois Aumas (Marathon Inter-national de Geneve), Vince Regan (Pony British Marathon/Manchester), Andrew Galloway (Manninge International Marathon), Frank Horn (Danish Federation Veterans Committee), Niels J.

He attended Harvard University from 1933 and became professor of English and journalism at Boston’s Northeastern University from 1937–1953, spanning four years of military service in the Second World War. He was a sportswriter for the Boston Globe from 1930 – 1953, followed by three years with the Boston Post. He directed the Boston Marathon for 36 years, guiding the event during the popularisation of the marathon in the late 1960s, and the institution of qualifying times in the 1970s, right through to the running boom of the late 1970s. In his first year in charge there were 184 runners; by the last this had grown to 7,647. Married in 1937, he had four children. He died on 16 January 2003 at the age of 91. 10 © Boston Marathon ■ 1982 TO 1984 25 YEARS OF AIMS During the 1980s a number of big European races used American football players because of fears of a false start. They stood in front of the runners and sprinted away after the start. This picture shows the start of the first Vienna City Marathon on 24 March 1984. The race was then called 1.

Those attending formalised proceedings by electing the following and drawing up some brief objectives and rules. Will Cloney (Boston) was elected as President, Chris Brasher (London) as Vice-President, Andy Galloway (Hamilton, NZ) as Secretary/Treasurer and a Committee of: Hiroaki Chosa (Fukuoka), Serge Arsenault (Montreal), George Courmouzis (Athens), Kathrine Switzer (Avon), David Benson (Honolulu), Anders Olsson (Stockholm), Elpidio Dorotheo (Manila) plus Jose Werneck (Rio de Janeiro). Vince Regan (Manchester) was appointed as press officer. The idea was that within the committee each part of the world was represented. Rules and regulations were laid down and AIMS began, initially as The Association of International Marathons, but later extended to include other road race distances. It was decided that ‘annual’ meetings would be held approximately every eighteen months to coincide with a member’s marathon at that time and give a spread of meetings geographically. It was also decided that any elected president could serve a maximum of three consecutive terms. At the following AIMS Board Meetings there were further discussions concerning a ‘Marathon World Circuit’ which would be generated for elite runners. More general discussions about prize and appearance money at races also interested the Board. Meeting in Montreal in May 1982 all representatives voted for prize money and all voted against appearance money. This would not work today for big elite races -– but 25 years ago times were different. Race directors considered it crucial that all of their courses should be up to high standards of operation: correctly measured, with proper medical support; adequate energy drinks at feeding stations; 11 25 YEARS OF AIMS Verrazano Narrows Bridge, New York City Marathon 1985 © www.photorun.net marshals at key points along the course to direct runners and traffic; and accurate split times and finish times for every participating runner. Allan Steinfeld was the early Chair of the AIMS Standards Committee, and he worked strenuously to help race directors learn the technical nuances of producing a good race. David Martin, AIMS’ statistician, worked hard to produce lists that had names spelled correctly, correct times (rounded appropriately) and information presented to help journalists to interpret “the marathon phenomenon”. During the period from the foundation of AIMS to the first edition of the AIMS Yearbook in 1985, the General Secretary issued monthly newsletters to members, keeping them informed and up-to-date with any relevant business and informing members of the results of AIMS events as they took place. The first newsletter does not carry a date but it probably appeared in June 1982 since it refers to the AIMS Board Meeting in Montreal at the end of May that year. ‘This is the first AIMS newsletter, designed to FRED LEBOW ■ © www.photorun.net Fred Lebow founded the New York City Marathon in 1970, and in 1993 became chairman of the New York Road Runners Club (NYRRC) after a 20-year term as president. He was one of the major influences behind the running boom in North America and elsewhere, contributing innovative ideas and programmes to the sport. He was also a major driving force in the establishment and development of AIMS. Fred Lebow expanded the New York City Marathon from a small event held entirely within Central Park to its present city-wide version with hordes of spectators cheering on more than 35,000 runners. Father of the marathon, he conceived, conducted, directed and sponsored the first race with just 127 runners – of whom 55 finished, including Fred himself. He personally bought wrist watches as prizes for the first ten finishers. Lebow also started such original events as the Fifth Avenue Mile and the Empire State Building Run-Up. He developed the New York Road Runners Club from 270 members in 1972 into the largest organisation of its kind in the world. Today the club organises more than 100 events annually. Fred Lebow, born in Romania as Fischel Leibowitz, spent time in Ireland, Czechoslovakia and other European countries before moving to the US. After settling in New York, he made a successful career in the clothing industry before he started working full-time for the NYRRC. In 1992 Lebow ran his only five-borough marathon in New York together with Grete Waitz to celebrate his 60th birthday and the remission of his cancer. But less than two years later he died of brain cancer on 9 October 1994 at the age of 62. 12 1982 TO 1984 25 YEARS OF AIMS keep everyone abreast of what’s happening in Tower Bridge, the world of marathon running’, it states in the London Marathon © www.photorun.net first two lines. The newsletter is jointly signed by Chris Brasher and Fred Lebow. And there is a note below: ‘Perhaps equally important, please send at least 50 copies of your entry blanks, and a set or two of results, to Deb Greene at the AIMS clearing house. She answers between two dozen and four dozen requests each week from people seeking entry blanks for international marathons.’ This was great news for AIMS: it showed that the idea was working. Growth of membership was slow but steady with more and more races coming to recognise the importance and benefits of belonging to this new organisation which stressed the importance of the marathon as a public event which allowed runners of all abilities to compete and set their own goals. At the first “World Congress of AIMS”, held in Tokyo from 8 – 10 February 1983, Will Cloney stepped down and a new president had to be elected. The founder of the London Marathon Chris Brasher then became AIMS’ second president. Among elite performances at that time Steve Jones (Great Britain) achieved a world best of 2:08:05 when winning the Chicago Benoit the following year, when she became the first Marathon in 1984. He improved the mark of Robert ever female Olympic Marathon Champion. She won de Castella (Australia) by 13 seconds. A year earlier the gold medal in Los Angeles with 2:24:52 while there had been two women’s world records on Carlos Lopes (Portugal) took the men’s race in consecutive days. Running legend Grete Waitz 2:09:21. A year earlier at the inaugural World (Norway), who won the New York City Marathon Championships in Helsinki Rob de Castella (2:10:03) nine times, took the London Marathon with 2:25:29. and Grete Waitz (2:28:09) had won gold. A day later, in the Boston Marathon on 18 April 1983, See profiles of the two authors, Andy Galloway Joan Benoit improved that time by nearly three and David Martin, on pages 20 and 21. minutes to 2:22:43. There was more glory for Joan CHRIS BRASHER Born in British Guiana in 1928 and educated at Rugby School and Cambridge University, Chris Brasher discovered a love of the adventurous outdoors early in life. Before the age of 22 he had participated in two Arctic expeditions. He was introduced to serious athletics at University and quickly made an impression, competing in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics before famously helping to pace Roger Bannister to the first sub four-minute mile in 1954. In the 1956 Melbourne Olympics he lined up only as Britain’s third-choice steeplechaser but against all expectations – except perhaps his own – he won gold in 8:41.2. A successful career in journalism and broadcasting followed. He was twice voted British Sportswriter of the Year. A business based on selling orienteering gear from the boots of cars led to the opening of the first “Sweat Shop” retail outlet. This has since become a chain of shops managed by his son, Hugh. He also set up a sports shoe distribution company called Fleetfoot. In 1979, with ten fellow Ranelagh Harrier club members on the “Sweat Shop” tour to the New York Marathon, Chris Brasher was inspired to wonder whether London could organise a similar event. Only a man of Chris’s vision and determination could have brought the dream to fruition a mere 18 months later. In doing so he did not forget his friends, and many Ranelagh Harriers helped in small ways in that first event, and many continued to volunteer for years to come; others took full-time jobs with the Marathon. Chris himself, at the age of 52, ran 2:56:56 in the inaugural London Marathon. This race is his greatest legacy. Chris Brasher, who was AIMS’ President from 1983 – 1987, died of cancer on 28 February 2003 at the age of 74. With his wife Shirley he had three children: Kate, Amanda and Hugh. Steve Rowland (for the Ranelagh Newsletter) Distance Running Archive ■ 13 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1982 TO 1984 The development of road race measurement BY ALLAN STEINFELD I n the dark ages of road running B.A. (before AIMS), road-running courses were measured using car odometers, theodolites, measuring wheels, bikes, measuring tapes and any other method that was handy. Most running courses are not alike due to elevation changes, road surface and many other factors, but there is one constant: all marathons are 42.195km. When a runner ran a race there was no guarantee that the course was really the distance that was advertised. If a way could be found to measure the route quickly and inexpensively that would help our sport greatly. Back in B.A. times, some countries around the world did an excellent job of measuring their road running courses. but it could be expensive and time consuming. In Japan, for example, they would use a 100 meter steel tape and a couple of dozen ‘volunteers’ to assist in the measuring. They would stretch out the tape, and in order to ensure that it was straight and 1 meter from the curb at all points (the old rules), people would hold meter sticks perpendicular to the curb and touching the tape. They would repeat this exercise 422 times. Just imagine if the road being measured was not traffic free! Obviously there had to be a better way. Another system of measurement had been used by the British Time Trial Council, a cycling organisation. They counted the revolutions (and part-revolutions) of the bicycle wheel required to traverse a known accurately-measured base line, and then related this to the number of revolutions of the wheel taken in covering the entire time trial course. This was a highly accurate method of measuring popularised for road running by John Jewell of the Road Runners Club and Ted Corbitt of the Road Runners Club of America. However, it still involved the laborious procedure of counting spokes to determine part-revolutions of the wheel. In the early 1970s Alan Jones developed a simple mechanical counter that registered 20 “counts” for each revolution of the bicycle wheel, which greatly simplified the procedure and calculations. JOHN JEWELL – THE PIONEER OF MODERN COURSE MEASUREMENT ■ The man who above all others had laid the foundations for modern course measurement was John Jewell. He was the driving force behind a two-year investigation into the various methods of measuring road race courses, and it was he who first adapted the British cyclists’ calibrated bicycle method for use in measuring road running courses. In 1960 he produced a report which recommended its use, but he always maintained that producing the report was the easy part. Lobbying the British Federation and the IAAF to accept this method took a long and determined effort. He got to the heart of the problem. The last 45 years have seen only minor tinkering with his basic procedure. In his 1961 summary, John Jewell wrote: “…The surveyor’s wheel is not a precision instrument [and] there will always be doubts regarding the distance of courses measured with [it]. The best method is the calibrated cycle wheel as used by the RTTC. It is extremely accurate and rapid. Far greater use might be made of maps… Car odometers are not suitable for course measurements… Other unsuitable methods have also been mentioned.” John Jewell began running in his teens, but his running career really started when he was a student at Imperial College in London. He was a friend of the renowned ultradistance runner Arthur Newton, and became member no.7 of the Road Runner’s Club. He was also a member of the famous South London Harriers running club. John Jewell edited the Road Runner’s Club Newsletter from the early 1950s. His editorship was renowned for its excellent coverage of the world distance running scene. Primarily because of the Newsletter, the British RRC had members throughout the world. In 1962 John married his wife Joan. John had a scientific background, as a chemist in the oil industry. His scientific interest was aroused by the question of measuring road race courses. He provided a clear method, based on counting the number of revolutions (and fractions of a revolution) of a bicycle wheel needed to cover the course. The wheel was first calibrated on a 1km section of the course to be measured, that section itself precisely measured with a steel tape. To illustrate the application of this method he undertook the first road race measurement to modern standards when he measured the Bristol Marathon in 1961. John Jewell retired as the editor of the RRC Newsletter in 1992. He died in August 2001.

She is guided by the Blue Line. © www.photorun.net When a bicycle is ridden from one end of a calibration course to the other, the counter registers a number. As the length of the calibration course, previously accurately measured with a steel tape, is known the number on the Jones counter can be used to calculate a ratio relating the counts elapsed on the Jones counter to the distance travelled over the calibration course. One can then go out and measure any distance using this ratio and a simple linear equation. At the first meeting of AIMS (with an initial membership of 28 members) which took place in London in 1982, we adopted the idea of course measurement using the calibrated bicycle method. We also adopted additional and more stringent criteria concerning the measurement of road courses. For a race course to be certified by AIMS, the course must be measured 30cm from the curb (no longer a meter). The measurements must be made along the SPR (shortest possible runners path), the course could not drop more than 0.1% between start and finish (42.195 m) and a short course prevention factor of 0.1% had to be added in to all measurements to make sure that courses were not short. Chris Brasher, the president of AIMS at the time, appointed me head of our just-created AIMS technical committee (probably because no one else wanted the job and I was head of the U.S. road running technical committee). To help our members measure their courses accurately. I was asked to give clinics around the world in AIMS race cities. I gave them in New Zealand, Australia, Europe, helping out the London Marathon early on, and in South America. I travelled to Rio for the Rio de Janeiro Marathon for a clinic and to observe the actual measurement of their marathon. Because Rio is so congested with traffic the measurement took place at 02.00 and instead of police we had an armed military escort. Needless to say, no one got in our way. What I remember most about the measurement was that all the soccer fields were filled! OF AIMS We created a cadre of measurers and certifiers around the world and required all AIMS races to be officially certified for distance. Certified measurement of the course became one of the criteria for a race to join AIMS. In the foreword of the first edition of the AIMS Marathon Yearbook 1985, President Chris Brasher wrote: “You the runner, know that a Marathon is the ultimate test in the track and field calendar and if you are going to travel to a major race, you want to be certain that the course is measured accurately and that the organisation enables you to produce your best performance. That is what AIMS is all about”. And indeed this was only the beginning of what “AIMS was all about”. AIMS stood and still stands for a standard of excellence in the road running world. With the promulgation of course measuring taking place all over the world, local federations began to take notice. During this time in the mid1980s Chris Brasher and I met with IAAF to discuss issues we had in common. One of those issues was course measurement. After a few discussions, IAAF adopted the AIMS system of course measurement and enshrined it in their rule book. It took significantly longer for the method to be backed up with the administrative system required to oversee worldwide implementation. Work on this started in earnest when IAAF met with AIMS in A Jones counter, fixed to the front Monaco in 1995. IAAF wheel of a bicycle. © Nathan Jones appointed four measurement administrators in different parts of the world to accredit and oversee the work of measurers active in these areas. Since then, with a vast amount of work done by the current AIMS technical chairman Gordon Rogers, a comprehensive database has been established which allows the credentials of races all over the world to be reliably checked. Today all our AIMS members, the Olympics and World Championship marathons and race walks are proud holders of a course certification signed off by AIMS and IAAF.

Less than a year after the opening of the Berlin Wall the race ran through the Brandenburg Gate and both parts of the once divided city. 25,000 runners participated in this event. The quadriga on top of the gate was not yet in place. © Berlin Marathon BY JÖRG WENIG D uring this period AIMS worked successfully towards implementing its ideas and objectives for the organisation of road races according to worldwide standards. The ‘AIMS Marathon Yearbook’, from which Distance Running evolved, was introduced in 1985. With this publication it was now possible for AIMS to reach runners of its member races directly. High circulation made this a powerful advertising tool for the members of AIMS. Membership strongly increased in these years. In 1987 it was decided that races covering less than the marathon distance would be able to join AIMS and the name was changed to the Association of International Marathons and Road Races. In 1990 ultradistance and Ekiden (marathon relay) events were also included. This period saw two changes in the presidency: first Chris Brasher was followed by Bob Dalgleish. Then, due to the sad death of the Scotsman, Hiroaki Chosa was appointed interim president. The first edition of the AIMS Marathon Yearbook in 1985, and many editions following , stated the objectives of AIMS, which still apply today: 1. To foster and promote marathon running throughout the world. 2. To work with IAAF on all matters relating to international marathons. 3. To exchange information, knowledge and expertise among members of the Association. The success of AIMS can largely be attributed to following these basic principles. In the foreword to the first yearbook Chris Brasher wrote “This is the first edition of what, we hope, will become an annual calendar of the major international marathons in the world. You, the runner, know that a marathon is the ultimate test in the track and field calendar and if you are going to travel to a major race, you want to be certain that the course is measured 25 YEARS OF AIMS Chinese marathon battle in Xiamen. © Xiamen International Marathon accurately and that the organisation enables you to produce your best performance. That is what AIMS is about. We were formed to disseminate information amongst our members to ensure that all the races listed in this yearbook are of the standard that you would expect. So, travel with confidence, race with enjoyment and please write to us if you have any constructive comments…” 28 AIMS member marathons were listed in the 1985 AIMS calendar – beginning with the Miami Orange Bowl Marathon on 5 January and ending with the Avon Women’s Marathon on 15 December. Adverts from AIMS member races were included in the Yearbook as well as photos from those races that supplied them. Race reports were to follow in future editions. There was a pace chart as well. With the publication of the first AIMS yearbook it was possible to inform a mass worldwide running audience. A list of ‘World Bests’ was publicised, giving the better athletes something to aim for. In that first AIMS City of Los Angeles Marathon Yearbook Marathon 1985, through the © www.photorun.net excellent knowledge and thorough research of David Martin (USA), a list was published of the best 190 male and 158 female marathon performances for the year 1984. The first edition of the AIMS Marathon Yearbook, as it was initially called, was distributed free to all AIMS events around the world, as it has been ever since. It had a circulation of 200,000 copies. That first edition was compiled by Andy Galloway, Wolfram Bleul and 1985 TO 1990 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1983 (he had afterwards been elected President Emeritus) there was no need to elect a new president. Chris Brasher (London) was re-elected at the 3 rd World Congress of AIMS that took place in West Berlin in September 1985. Robert Dalgleish (Glasgow) and Fred Lebow (New York) served as Vice- Presidents. In the meantime membership had grown to more than 40 members including the Avon Women’s Marathon under Race Director Kathy Switzer of Boston Marathon fame, five Marathons from Japan and nine from the USA. Other countries involved were Australia, Belgium, Bermuda, Brazil, Mass runners turn on Marine Drive © Mumbai Marathon The cover of the first edition of the AIMS Marathon Yearbook. Vince Regan and was printed in Rochester, England. The magazine was A5 size and was published once each year until 1988 when it was deemed necessary, due to the expansion of AIMS membership, to produce two editions each year. Up to 1990 the magazine was produced and printed by Spiridon in Germany. President Robert Dalgleish moved production to Scotland under the publishers, Holmes McDougall Ltd., shortly before he died in October 1990. The first edition printed in Glasgow was that for the first half of 1991. At the initial meeting in London in 1982 it had been decided that any elected president could serve a maximum of three consecutive terms. Since Boston’s Will Cloney had stepped down already in Canada, Denmark, Finland, Great Britain, Greece, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and West Germany. The 1986 AIMS Marathon Yearbook carried an article entitled ‘Marathon Course Measurement – The State of the Art’ by John Disley (London) and Allan Steinfeld (New York). They stressed the importance of correct measurement for all participants. BOB DALGLEISH ■ AIMS lost one of its finest ambassadors on 22 October 1990 with the untimely death of the President, Robert M. Dalgleish (54). He was involved in sport for many years and between 1978 and 1990 had been Sports Promotion Officer for the City of Glasgow. He was one of those responsible for getting the Glasgow Marathon started, and he continued as Race Director of the Great Scottish Run, which succeeded the marathon. Bob Dalgleish was a respected member of the International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF), and a former President of both the Scottish Amateur Athletic Association and the Scottish Cross Country Union. He was closely involved with the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh. But Bob Dalgleish’s proudest and most treasured achievement in athletics was becoming President of AIMS. He took over from Chris Brasher in 1987 and the Association owes much to the innovation, expertise, time and honesty he gave as President. He always had time to listen to every side of a discussion, and stood firm on the policies that have built AIMS to the position of respect and strength that it holds today. 19 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1985 TO 1990 Run Barbados 1986 © www.photorun.net A year earlier the first blue line, as we know it today, appeared at the London Marathon. It indicated to runners where the shortest possible route lay within the road width. This greatly helped race officials to manage such aspects as race lead vehicles, TV camera positions, placement of course marshals, location of medical and refreshment stations, etc. There had been a blue line earlier in New York, but it was painted down the middle of the road and simply indicated which streets were used – not how they ANDY GALLOWAY ■ © www.photorun.net Andrew (Andy) Galloway was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1930. “My running career probably started at the age of five when my mother walked me 15 kilometres to school for my first day, but made the mistake of letting go of my hand when we reached the school gate. I took off, running as fast as my little legs would carry me, and didn't stop until I reached the safety of my home”, Andy Galloway recalls. “At the age of sixteen a very good friend who was a New Zealand Junior Champion at javelin and hammer throw, asked me to join him in his endeavour to stay fit during the winter season and to join the local winter running club. That was it; I was soon addicted to running and have remained a member of Hamilton Harrier Club for the past 60 years, serving as Committee Member, President and now Patron and Life Member.” Andy Galloway ran his first marathon at the age of 20 and “Because of my interest and love of marathons, I started taking groups of runners to overseas events such as the Honolulu Marathon or the Round Rarotonga Road Race.” It was on the tour to Honolulu in 1981 that he was asked to attend a meeting of race directors to discuss the possibility of a World Marathon Circuit. This was his introduction to Will Cloney (Boston), Chris Brasher (London), Fred Lebow (New York), Serge Arsenault (Montreal) and others. Andy Galloway was then elected to the first Board of AIMS. He was appointed as Secretary/Treasurer and was involved in all aspects of the Association for the next 15 years. 20 1985 TO 1990 would be used. The blue line was soon being used at World Championships, Olympic Games and other international championships. The 1987 AIMS Marathon Yearbook included a list of approved IAAF/AIMS Course Measurers. They came from Great Britain & Northern Ireland (5), Germany (2), Sweden (2), USA (8), New Zealand (2), Australia (1) and Brazil (1). Also for the first time, first-aid and 25 YEARS OF AIMS Champs-Élysées, Paris Marathon 1990 © www.photorun.net Freihofer's 5k Run for Women, USA © www.photorun.net casualty management guidelines were published, written by Dr. Dan TunstallPedoe (London Sports Medicine Institute). More medical topics were published in future editions of the AIMS Marathon Yearbook in co-operation with the International Marathon Medical Directors Association (IMMDA). IMMDA had been founded back in 1982, but in 1987 it became an affiliate of AIMS. At the 4 th World Congress of AIMS held in Manila in 1987 Robert M. Dalgleish was elected president as successor to Chris Brasher. At that DAVID MARTIN ■ © www.photorun.net David Martin is presently Regents Professor Emeritus of Health Sciences at Georgia State University. He was born in 1939, received his PhD in medical physiology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1970, and has been at Georgia State University in Atlanta ever since. While at Georgia State he taught courses in exercise physiology, cardiovascular physiology, and pulmonary physiology. He started an exercise physiology laboratory in the 1970s which eventually became a model for testing the performance capabilities of elite-level distance runners. Nearly 100 peer-reviewed publications have emerged from this laboratory, as well as dozens of coaching-related articles. He is active in the USA national governing body for track and field, serving on committees that are involved with preparation of distance runners for successful international competition. David Martin was elected to membership in the Association of Track and Field Statisticians at their meeting in Prague in 1978. He attended most of the original meetings which led to the formation of the Association of International Marathons, and has served the Association as its Statistician since the beginning. He became a Fellow in the American College of Sports Medicine in 1987. David Martin has written seven books, including: The Marathon Footrace (1979, with Roger Gynn), Respiratory Anatomy & Physiology (1988, with John Youtsey), Training Distance Runners (1991, with Peter Coe), Better Training for Distance Runners (1997, with Peter Coe), and The Olympic Marathon (2000, with Roger Gynn). 21 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1985 TO 1990 congress it was decided that all road races up to the marathon distance could Rome Marathon join AIMS. The official name Distance Running Archive was changed to the Association of International Marathons and Road Races. The first few non-marathon races to join AIMS and appear in the AIMS calendar of 1988 were the 25km de Berlin, the Gothenburg Half Marathon, the Golden Horn Half Marathon (Istanbul) and the 20km in Manila. In 1988 the Yearbook began to be published twice yearly. It continued to appear in A5 format with a coloured cover but inside pages were still black and white. At the 6th World Congress of AIMS held in April 1990, under the leadership of president Bob Dalgleish, AIMS’ membership was extended to ultradistance and Ekiden (marathon relay) events. Another change in In 1988 the International Amateur Athletics presidency happened later that year due to the sad Federation (IAAF) had officially adopted the method death of Bob Dalgleish in October. Hiroaki Chosa of course measurement which had been developed was appointed interim president. By then AIMS had by AIMS. AIMS also started to encourage members grown to 85 members plus two associate members. THE INTERNATIONAL MARATHON MEDICAL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION (IMMDA) ■ The International Marathon Medical Directors Association (IMMDA) has been an AIMS affiliate since 1987. IMMDA was originally founded in 1982 by the medical directors of three international marathons (London, Madrid and New York City) and has since grown to include marathon medical directors from five continents. IMMDA's main objectives are: i) ii) iii) iv) v) to study and promote the health of long-distance runners to promote knowledge and research of the best methods in prevention and treatment of injuries to prevent the occurrence of injuries during mass participation runs; to offer guidelines that may provide standardisation in the medical support of marathon races throughout the world to promote a close working relationship between race organisers and medical directors – to better achieve the above. IMMDA emphasises that medical directors should work closely with race directors in all matters for medical input and advice. The beauty of the organisation is that, by bringing together different medical directors from very different marathons run in very different conditions, a tremendous informational resource system is created. “Every marathon has its own set of potential medical problems,” says Dr. Lewis G. Maharam, the current IMMDA Secretary and Treasurer. “But because of IMMDA, medical directors have immediate access to other medical directors with significant experience in every imaginable range of circumstances, whether it be temperature, terrain or number of first-time runners. It means everyone can benefit from everyone else's experience. No medical director should have to start at square one.” At its 4th World Congress, held in Manila in 1987, AIMS recognised IMMDA as its medical affiliate. AIMS has consistently advised all their marathon race directors to get their medical directors to join IMMDA, and IMMDA strongly encourages its members to have their race directors contact AIMS for membership. IMMDA has provided medical advice to marathon race directors and medical directors, as well as directly to runners, on several life-and-death medical matters. IMMDA has also provided guidelines in the medical management of marathons covering the topics of heat stress, cardiac risks, running injury prevention and many other pertinent subjects. Many of these articles have been published first in the AIMS Marathon Yearbook and in Distance Running. Since more and more people all over the world understand the health benefits available through running, IMMDA and its medical directors, in conjunction with AIMS, will play a crucial role in the future development of road running. 22 1985 TO 1990 25 YEARS OF AIMS to carry out doping control at their events whenever significant prize money was at stake, which had not been common practice at that time. In 2001 a group of major AIMS marathon races (Berlin, Boston, NYC, London, Chicago) introduced blood testing at their races, a practice which was then adopted by more and more races. Elite runners set three world bests, as they were officially called at that time, during this period. Two of them stood for many years. At the London Marathon on 21 April Moscow International 1985 Ingrid Kristiansen (Norway) ran 2:21:06. Peace Marathon 1990 In doing so she improved Joan Benoit’s time © www.photorun.net by 97 seconds. Her record stood for 13 years. There were two world bests in the Rotterdam three years later Ethiopian Belayneh Dinsamo ran Marathon, a race still renowned for its fast course. 2:06:50. This time remained unbeaten for ten years. Carlos Lopes (Portugal) clocked 2:07:12 in 1985 and To verify the record the Rotterdam course was then re-measured by two wellknown AIMS measurers: John Disley (London) and Helge Ibert (Berlin). Ibert measured 42,204 metres while Disley’s result was 42,199m. Italy’s Gelindo Bordin (2:10:32) and Portugal’s Rosa Mota (2:25:40) won the Olympic marathon gold medals in Seoul in 1988. Mota had become marathon world champion a year earlier in Rome World’s Best 10 k Road coming home two Race, Puerto Rico kilometres clear of her © www.photorun.net nearest rival in a time of 2:25:17. Douglas Wakiihuri, one of the first successful Kenyan marathon runners, had taken the gold in Rome with 2:11:48, and finished second to Bordin in Seoul. Jörg Wenig, who has written this and the next chapter (with the support of Andy Galloway and David Martin), is a freelance athletics journalist from Berlin who specialises in running and works for a number of AIMS races as well as IAAF. Jörg Wenig and Hugh Jones jointly edited this publication. 23 1991 – 1995: Consolidation A tough climb at the Swiss Alpine Post Marathon Davos © www.photorun.net BY JÖRG WENIG I n these years AIMS grew to embrace over 100 members. Under the new AIMS President, Japan’s Hiroaki Chosa, who still leads the association today, ties to the IAAF became much stronger. President Chosa was also responsible for recruiting several new Japanese sponsors who gave generous support to AIMS and consolidated the Association’s financial position. Under this confident new regime the AIMS Yearbook was changed into a completely new format. From an A5 size ‘handbook’ it became an A4 size magazine named “Distance Running” and adopted increasingly higher production values. AIMS continued to grow steadily in these years. Including associate members the figure passed 100 for the first time in 1992. A year later membership surpassed 100 full members. A landmark race that joined in 1991 was the Kosice Marathon in Slovakia (formerly Czechoslovakia). Apart from Boston, Kosice was the world’s oldest existing annual marathon. The Boston Marathon had first been run in 1897 and has since been held every year, including the war years (although in 1918 it was limited to a relay for military teams). To this day Boston stages one of the best quality and most spectacular of international marathons. The Kosice Marathon was first held in 1924. Despite the enormous civil disruption of the war years it was only suspended for the years 1938 and 1940. After the death of Bob Dalgleish Hiroaki Chosa had acted for more than a year as the interim president of AIMS. At the 7 th World Congress of AIMS, held in Bangkok from 25 – 27 November, he was confirmed as the new AIMS President. At the Barcelona Congress in 1996 AIMS dropped the rule that limited the AIMS President to serving a maximum of three terms and Hiroaki Chosa, who is race director of the prestigious Fukuoka Marathon, is still AIMS President today. At the Bangkok Congress members took the unanimous decision to confer the title of President Emeritus on Fred Lebow, the race director of the New York Marathon. This was 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1991 TO 1995 only the second time this award had been made, the previous recipient being the first AIMS president Will Cloney of the Boston Marathon. Hiroaki Chosa presented the award to Fred Lebow and at the ceremony AIMS secretary Andy Galloway said: “Fred has long been regarded as the father of the modern marathon. Mass participation alongside top runners competing for big money awards were brought together by this incredible man’s achievement. It is Toronto Marathon and Half Distance Running Archive only appropriate that this should be recognised in this way.” Less than three years later Fred Lebow died of brain cancer, on 9 October 1994, at the age of 62 (see profile on page 12). This was just four weeks before his New York City Marathon celebrated its 25th edition. The AIMS magazine was further upgraded at the beginning of the 1990s. The first issue for 1992 was called ‘AIMS 1992 (1)’. It was still in A5 format, with 64 black and white pages inside the cover. The second edition of that year looked completely different. It was called ‘AIMS Yearbook – March/September 1992’ and appeared in A4 format with 44 pages inside, mainly black and white but with occasional colour. The next magazine was the ‘Distance Running Yearbook September 1992 – March 1993’. Two issues were also produced during 1993 and 1994, with inconsistent dates: ‘March – August 1993’, ‘September 1993 – February 1994’, ‘March – September 1994’ and ‘September – December 1994’. From 1995 these inconsistencies were Taking those races that are still held today Boston and Kosice are the oldest marathons worldwide. Kosice joined AIMS in 1991 while Boston was a founding member.

They were labelled ‘January – June’ and ‘July – December’. In the first edition of the new size in 1992 AIMS President Hiroaki Chosa had written a foreword that laid out three objectives: 1. Establishing a sound financial base for AIMS, finding other sponsors as well as ASICS and Lufthansa, and giving more support to races. 2. Developing links with the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) by expanding the AIMS Yearbook to include news from IAAF, by improving the network of official course measurers, and by developing better equipment and other appropriate means. 3. Continuing to promote marathons and other road races as a contribution to good fellowship and well being of all people throughout the world regardless of nationality or politics. In this way, it is not too much to say that AIMS also works for peace and reconciliation throughout the world. In some of the AIMS Yearbooks the foreword was not only published in English but also in German, Spanish and Japanese. Some editions also carried a French version. Hiroaki Chosa was quick to act on his agenda. As a member of the Cross Country and Road Running Committee (since October 1985) he had close became the first joint edition of the magazine, connections with IAAF. Through these the ‘Distance officially linking IAAF and AIMS. “IAAF News” has Running Yearbook September 1992 – March 1993’ since then formed an integral part of the magazine. HIROAKI CHOSA ■ Hiroaki Chosa has been President of AIMS since October 1990. After the untimely death of Bob Dalgleish he first acted as interim president and was then officially elected by the 7th World Congress of AIMS held in November 1991. He is the fourth president of AIMS but he has guided the association for twice as long as all his predecessors together. Hiroaki Chosa, who is the long-serving race director of the prestigious Fukuoka Marathon, was a successful middle distance runner. Born in 1930 he became Japanese Champion at 800m and 1,500m in 1953. A year later he graduated from Tokyo University of Education, specialising in coaching methods. As an official in his sport he became the manager for the Japanese athletics team at the Montreal Olympic Games in 1976. Hiroaki Chosa has been a member of the IAAF Cross Country and Road Running Committee since 1985. In 1988 he was appointed Deputy Chief of the Japanese Delegation for the Olympic Games in Seoul. He became a board member of the Japanese Olympic Committee in 1991 and has acted as Executive Vice President and Managing Director of the Japanese Association of Athletics Federations (JAAF) since 1993. He is Chairman of the Organising Committee for the 2007 World Championships in Athletics to be held in Osaka. 27 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1991 TO 1995 Las Vegas Marathon Distance Running Archive Parallel progress was also made on the financial side. In the second 1995 edition of Distance Running five sponsors were listed, of which four were Japanese: Asics, Citizen, John Hancock, Konica and Nissin. With the growth in membership many more copies of ‘Distance Running’ were being distributed. The two 1995 editions had a combined circulation of 450,000, distributed at AIMS races worldwide. After the end of apartheid and the readmission of South Africa into international sport in 1992, in 1993 the Two Oceans Marathon became its nation’s first AIMS member. This famous 56km race was joined one year later by another even more renowned South African ultradistance race, the Comrades Marathon (89km). Great progress was also being made in the technical aspects of road running. A new era in race timing began in 1994. A test was carried out during a regional race in Berlin at the end of August, after Marathon Popular de Madrid, 1991 www.photorun.net 28 Rio de Janeiro Half Marathon Distance Running Archive which the innovative “chip timing” system came into use during the Berlin Marathon held one month later. This new technology, invented by the Dutch company ChampionChip, then started to be used at a few major international road races. Each runner would fix a passive transponder or “chip” to their shoelaces before the race. This registered times as the runner passed over mats in which receptors were embedded. According to 1991 TO 1995 international rules the times given for winners remained as that elapsed from the shot of the start gun, but it was now possible to time each runner individually. Time could be given as that elapsed from the moment any runner passed over a start mat to the moment they crossed the mat at the finish line. The time it had taken any runner to cross the starting line behind thousands of other mass runners was no longer very significant. It was also possible to place timing mats at other points along the course to obtain split times at, for example, 10km, half way or 30km. This had a welcome side effect for race organisers in that it Marabana Half Marathon and Marathon, Cuba Distance Running Archive Honolulu Marathon 1995 © Mark Shearman became much easier to detect cheating. If runners had not registered a split time at any particular timing point then it was unlikely that they had ever run across the mat placed there, but had instead cut the course. With such obvious advantages chip timing soon became used by almost all major road races throughout the world. There were other positive developments that emerged more gradually. From their very first race the London Marathon had enjoyed great popularity among runners raising funds for charity, and this gradually spread to other races. In the 1990s AIMS had cooperated with UNICEF and several member races supported the charity. At more and more races, especially in Great Britain and the USA, runners generated millions and millions of pounds or dollars for charity. Today races in many other countries have strong connections to charity. AIMS member race organisers also did much to promote and support women’s running. This had been taken seriously right from the beginning, but 29 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1991 TO 1995 Istanbul Eurasia Marathon © Istanbul Marathon in 1995 the Association began to lay plans for a “Year of the Woman Runner”. This was originally intended to be 1996 but became deferred to 1998 to coincide with similar IAAF plans. Races for wheelchair athletes had already been included in a number of big AIMS events early in the 1980s. Several big marathons helped to develop the sport for handicapped people by giving them the opportunity to race. In this way wheelchair athletes were placed centre stage, and suddenly received a lot of attention from spectators and the media. At the 9th World Congress of AIMS held in Macau in 1994 Berlin Marathon race director Horst Coban Half Marathon, Guatemala Distance Running Archive 30 Milde proposed the establishment of an AIMS Museum. He had already worked closely with the Sports Museum in Berlin and that then incorporated the official AIMS Marathon-Museum of Running. Chris Brasher was named President Emeritus of AIMS in 1995. Brasher, who had initiated the London Marathon, was one of the founding members of AIMS and was the second president of the Association (see profile on page 13). World marathon records, still called “World Best Performances” by IAAF, did not improve in this period but the number of championship races multiplied with the change of the World Championships to a two-year cycle. There were surprise outcomes in both of the 1992 Olympic Marathon races held in Barcelona. Hwang Young-Cho of South Korea won the men’s race in 2:13:23 while Russia’s Valentina Yegorova took the women’s gold with 2:32:41. World Championships took place in 1991, 1993 and 1995: Hiromi Taniguchi (Japan/ 2:14:57) and Wanda Panfil (Poland/ 2:29:53) won in Tokyo in 1991; Mark Plaatjes (USA/ 2:13:57) and Junko Asari (Japan/ 2:30:03) took the golds in Stuttgart in 1993; and Martin Fiz (Spain/2:11:41) and Manuela Machado (Portugal/2:25:39) won in Gothenburg in 1995. The AIMS/ASICS World Athlete of the Year Award had been introduced three years earlier. Benson Masya (Kenya) and Liz McColgan (Scotland) were the first winners of this title which has been awarded annually since (see full list on page 39). 1991 TO 1995 25 YEARS OF AIMS THE AIMS MARATHON-MUSEUM OF RUNNING ■ All photos © Berlin Sports Museum/AIMS Marathon-Museum of Running Running has varied roots and traditions that reach far back through history. The sport has passed through highs and lows. It acknowledges many great achievements and gives rise to numerous legends about exceptional athletes. Less well recorded are the efforts of untiring organisers, countless volunteers and enthusiasts, and the constant permeation of new ideas. Running has an international character and provides a special tie between elite sport and sport for the masses. Up until 1994, this cultural history lacked a permanent home where it could be professionally collected and exhibited. The Berlin Sports Museum, founded in 1925, is a specialist museum of cultural history. It documents the development of the “culture of movement” from its beginnings to the present day. It includes both professional sport and sport for the masses, as well as specific topics, such as the impact of sport on the development of society. Berlin has a special relationship with running. The first cross-country and road races took place around 1900 and long Electromechanical time clock (race timekeeping device) from the distance running found an company “Württembergische Uhrenfabrik Bürk Söhne, important home base in Schwenningen” Type: ZS 67/2s, No. 36673 for 220V AC.

The initiatives for both German participant’s time, measured down to the second, was stamped and international running onto his participant card. Due to unavoidable delays at the start arose. The Berlin Crossand finish, the stamped time usually exceeded the individual’s Country Race (started in actual time. 1964) and the Berlin Marathon (started in 1974) successfully carry on these traditions and are now prominent running events. The Berlin Sports Museum is a natural home for a museum of running. For that reason, during the 9th World Congress of AIMS, held in Macau in December 1994, Horst Milde (founder and long-time race director of the Berlin Marathon) proposed that the Berlin Sports Museum should incorporate an “AIMS Marathon-Museum of Running”. AIMS undertook to support the comprehensive documentation of the international development of the sport of running, especially of marathon and long distance running. The history of running in Berlin finally won a fitting venue for its collection. In 2004 the Berlin Sports Museum received well-equipped workrooms and storage space in the Berlin Olympic Park. Since November 2006 it has been gradually expanding its capacity to exhibit its treasures. By the time the World Championships in Athletics is staged in Berlin in 2009, there will be a permanent exhibit on Olympic history in Berlin and an exhibition of the history of running will be complete. Since 1994, with the close co-operation of numerous friends and supporters, the basis for an international running museum has been collected. About 15,000 very diverse artefacts (jerseys, running shoes, posters, medals, prizes, advertising and organisational materials) have been collected, and together with the library and archives (publications, numerous running magazines, programmes, lists of participants and results, advertisements, photos, videos, etc.) now fill about 120 metres of shelving.

Gerd Steins Forum for Sport History 31 1996 – 2000: Anticipating the millennium Antarctica Marathon, 1997 © www.photorun.net BY PACO BORAO T his was the period during which AIMS seemed to stutter, like a jumper on the runway, before bounding forward. Membership seemed to be stable, or “stagnating” at around 110 members, but changes were being made which were formative in stimulating renewed growth only a few years later. The 10th World Congress of AIMS, held in Barcelona in 1996, was the launching pad from which the Association was to reach new heights. Hiroaki Chosa was reelected as the president of AIMS. Andy Galloway had given notice that he wished to step down from his post as General Secretary, and after a few months’ hiatus he was succeeded by a former world class marathon runner, Hugh Jones. The size of the Association, the communications requirements, the sponsorship needs, the increasingly detailed relationship with IAAF, and the mounting burden of administration mandated significant internal changes. In the world at large technological change was also dictating terms. This was the dawn of the electronic age. AIMS promptly generated a web page (www.aims-association.org) but it would take some years (and the dot.com bust) before the true value of the new technology could be realised for the benefit of the Association. What happened within AIMS after 1996 was an outcome of the extraordinary heritage left by those who created and launched the Association, under extremely difficult circumstances. At the beginning of the 1980s, marathon races were almost unknown by the public and the media, and only a few cities around the world were organising such competitions. The foremost tribute must go to those 30odd race organisers who gave birth to the Association of International Marathons in 1982. Their example, later followed by others, started the move towards the popularisation of road running. This was a highly innovative and significant change, integrating social and sporting innovation. In the wake of this basic development, more and more races joined AIMS: 25 YEARS OF AIMS there were 70 members by 1990, and a hundred of them – from 40 different countries, by 1995. The first open World Congress of AIMS was held in Tokyo in January 1983. Since then another fourteen congresses have been held. In March 2007, the 16th World Congress of AIMS will be held in Xiamen, China, celebrating the 25th anniversary of our Association. That is a great achievement. Much hard work has been done by the many people involved in this great associative project. Barcelona had hosted the 1992 Olympics, and in December 1994 members attending the 9th World Congress of AIMS in Macau voted for Barcelona as the next venue, for the 10th World Congress of AIMS in March 1996. The Barcelona Congress was a significant milestone in determining the future growth of AIMS. Increasing numbers, communication needs, sponsor-ship requirements and more involved dealings with IAAF generated administrative demands that required big changes. One of the major objectives of the Congress was to find a new General Secretary, as Andy Galloway, who had held the post since the formation of AIMS had given notice of his decision to resign. Barcelona was proud of its beautiful environment, and of the sports facilities that had been built for the Barcelona Olympics of 1992. With this background the Congress was projected 1996 TO 2000 towards success, and the most pressing objectives were achieved. Hiroaki Chosa, Vice President of the Japanese Athletics Federation, was re-elected as President. His deep knowledge of international athletics, his close contacts with IAAF, and his ability to convince several world-renowned Japanese firms to sponsor AIMS, were enormous assets for our Association. The 10 th Congress also set in process a motion that, three months later, saw Hugh Jones named as Secretary. He had won the 1982 London Marathon, 14 years earlier, at the same moment and in the same place where the establishing Congress of the Association had been held. From 1996 to 2000 AIMS experienced similar membership growth as during the previous five-year period. Being specifically assigned to this area of responsibility, I strove to understand the marketing, sponsorship and social reasons that powered the evolution of road running. But there was no clear, solid reason that could explain why there was such a low growth rate in membership when an extraordinary worldwide boom was in progress. National economies were experiencing strong growth (the Dow Jones Index rose from 6,000 points in March 1996 to 11,700 points in January 2000). But this economic wellbeing was not reflected in our membership growth or in increased sponsorship. It seemed as if people were gorging on economic Marathon Popular de Valencia © Valencia Marathon 34 1996 TO 2000 25 YEARS OF AIMS Jungfrau Marathon, Switzerland Distance Running Archive growth alone, and they had no time left to devote to anything else in life. Telecommunications, nascent internet possibilities, and burgeoning expectations were driving our lives throughout the world – with no time for left to do anything but invest money in future ‘dreams’. In contrast, hard times require internal strength, professionalism, and above all – team work. This much was clear to me with my new, specific, responsibility on AIMS Board. Meeting with the Board members twice a year does not give too much time to contact, exchange views and share ideas. E-mail quickly became the habitual and necessary communication channel, between Board members and with all member race directors. New technologies call for new skills and new management tools. Very early we understood that, dealing with a membership of hundreds spread all over the world, maintaining accurate data on member events (contact names, addresses, telephone and fax numbers, e-mails) was essential. All departments – administration, finance, technical, statistics, public relations – needed a permanent database, continuously updated, to maintain both the intimacy and efficiency of contact within the AIMS member-ship. Even though Distance Running had rapidly become the “shop window” of AIMS it had operated within tight budgetary limits. The Internet seemed to offer a less cash-constrained alternative: to build the web site (www.aimsassociation.org) as an effective marketing medium. In what now seems a far-sighted move both the AIMS and the IAAF website addresses appeared together on the front cover of the July-December 1999 edition of Distance Running. Within AIMS HUGH JONES ■ Hugh Jones succeeded Andy Galloway as AIMS Secretary on 1 July 1996, after a career as a marathon runner (from 1981) and freelance athletics journalist (from 1987). He was born in London in 1955, and ascribed his later success as a runner partly to running to and from school (1200m, four times daily) for most of the 1960s. In the 1970s he ran casually at secondary school and then at the University of Liverpool. In 1978 he ran and won his first marathon (2:25). In 1981 he won the English Championships with a time of 2:14, which propelled him into a professional running career. His first major win was the 1982 London Marathon with a time of 2:09:24, which coincided with the foundation of AIMS. He competed in city marathons and championships in the 1980s (World Chs 8th & 5th) but his failure to complete the 1990 London Marathon led him to diversify more seriously into athletics journalism. He also qualified as an international course measurer which helped to make him an obvious candidate to succeed Andy Galloway as AIMS Secretary in 1996. Jones continued as both a runner and a journalist but the AIMS job grew with increasing membership of the Association and in practical terms became full-time. He became editor of Distance Running in 2000. Jones still lives in London with his wife and four children. 35 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1996 TO 2000 Maui Marathon 2003 © Patrice Malloy there was never much doubt that we would need all tools available, both to present ourselves as an association and to offer each of our members that same opportunity. Novosibirsk Half Marathon © Alexandr Raevitch Half Marathon All this was happening against the background of sluggish membership growth. Few new members were coming in, but this was far preferable to an influx of new members and an exodus of old members. Turnover within AIMS membership has historically been low: the association spontaneously generates a certain loyalty to the cause. After intense debate of these issues the AIMS Board plumped for the unglamorous strategy of “manageable growth”. Ensuring quality and reliability of information and communication was deemed more important than an aggressive push to increase the membership roll. Even so, it was acknowledged that AIMS had to expand its image and ideas, particularly to recognise that events were being born in places where AIMS had no previous reach. Congresses were held at Enschede (Netherlands) in 1997, and at Kosice (Slovakia) in 1999, giving all attendees excellent opportunities of meeting together and exchanging their views about race organisation and their practical knowhow. In general, most race directors recognise that their own experience is limited. It is a hallmark of the marathon trade that organisers are always keen to hear about kindred marathon events, and learn from their experience. 1996 TO 2000 25 YEARS OF AIMS Looking back, I remember a lot of race organisers who tried to figure out the whole picture of their race from the experiences of others. After a lot of mental gymnastics, they understood that only the technical area was the same for everyone. Everything else (logistics, commercial, sponsorship, volunteer management, public administration involvement) were subjects too difficult to generalise. Theory is one thing, but experience, as all dictionaries say, is “the gaining of knowledge from practice”. No one can transfer experience, so each race director is king or queen in their own realm. Angkor Wat International Half Marathon, Cambodia © www.marathon-photos.com On the coal face of the sport, the men’s world marathon record had been cut Ten years later, after running a relatively slow first back to 2:06:50 – recorded in the 1988 Rotterdam half of the Berlin Marathon, the Brazilian Ronaldo Marathon by Ethiopian Belayneh Dinsamo. da Costa speeded up with each kilometre over the second half to record 2:06:05. The Prague International Marathon 1999 dam had burst: the following year Distance Running Archive Khalid Khannouchi, Moroccan-born but naturalised as a US citizen further improved the mark to 2:05:42 in Chicago. The “best performance” for the women’s marathon had been set by Ingrid Kristiansen in the 1985 London Marathon, where she recorded 2:21:06. That mark stood for 13 years until Tegla Loroupe broke it by 19 seconds in the 1998 Rotterdam Marathon. A year later in Berlin she broke the record again, improving by four seconds to 2:20:43. Her time survived the turn of the Millennium, but in the year 2000 another player had entered onto the world stage. Naoko Takahashi, maybe Japan’s greatest marathoner, won gold with a new Olympic record, and a year later became the first woman to break the 2:20 barrier in Berlin. All these heroic achievements necessarily take place against a background of humdrum administration. The AIMS Articles of Association require that AIMS races must comply with certain technical rules. Above all they must have their race course measured and then certified by an official measurer 37 25 YEARS OF AIMS 1996 TO 2000 Sydney Marathon Distance Running Archive appointed by the AIMS Technical Committee under the rules of AIMS and IAAF. That is a wordy way of saying that Marathons must be Marathons, and no less. Maintaining this dictum has been the task of the AIMS Technical Director, and it is a true labour of Sisyphus. New member races, and course changes of established members, require continuous surveillance and meticulous documentation to ensure that the integrity of the mystic marathon distance is respected. Within a worldwide organisation it is too easy to assume a common understanding. Achieving this in Paco Borao, who has written this chapter and the following one, is the Membership Director of AIMS. He was elected to the AIMS Board of Directors at the 10th World Congress of AIMS held in Barcelona in 1996, as the representative for the Marathon Popular de Valencia. He is the current race director of this event. In 2006 the Medio Maratón Ciudad de Valencia, of which he is also race director, became a member of AIMS. 38 practice requires detailed data management and unimpeded communication among the appointed decision makers. Email has appeared as the perfect tool for this – but there are always imperfections. People living in the developed world blithely assume that their environment is something common to all continents and groups, which far from the truth. Access to certain technologies is still patchy in many parts of the world, and language is an important aspect of this. There remain big barriers to common understanding. Cultural diversity requires mutual respect before good social relations can be established and maintained. Improving communication makes this easier, and has been my first priority since I took responsibility for membership development on behalf of our Association. In sport, being fair is not just something it is nice to have: it is a must. Sport embraces not only athletes and players, but everybody involved: sponsors, clubs, coaches, managers, representatives, associations or federations… in summary, all of us involved one way or another in sports. Whatever we do must be done with absolute respect for fairness. Sport is not just a physical activity; it is also a social example, primarily for youth, and we must consider the consequences of our actions… 1996 TO 2000 25 YEARS OF AIMS GREAT MOMENTS IN AIMS RACES ■ There have been many great AIMS races in the past 25 years and each AIMS event is unique in some way. Without devaluing any of these races one can probably say that there were three events in this period that drew worldwide attention even before the race took place. None of these related to any possible records by elite runners. They were the Berlin Marathon in 1990, the Boston Marathon in 1996 and the New York City Marathon in 2001. It was less than a year after the Berlin Wall – the symbol of the cold war between East and West – was breached when the Berlin Marathon stormed through the Brandenburg Gate on 30 September 1990, three days before official reunification. The race attracted 25,000 runners from all over the world and media attention was unparalleled. Thousands more wanted to run but the entry limit was set at 25,000. Many runners had tears in their eyes when, three kilometres after the start, they ran from West to East through the Brandenburg Gate. Six years later the Boston Marathon celebrated its centenary edition. Normally strict qualifying times are required for runners entering the Boston Marathon. But for the 100th Boston Marathon on 15 April 1996 organisers decided to open the event to all runners. The world’s oldest city marathon Finish of the 100th then saw the biggest Boston Marathon in 1996. race so far at the © www.photorun.net distance: 38,706 runners from 105 nations were officially admitted to the race and 36,264 of them crossed the starting line in Hopkinton, of whom almost 99% finished. The figure of 35,868 finishers remained the highest ever recorded for a marathon for more than eight years. Another five years later New York was at the centre of worldwide media attention. Exactly 54 days after the September 11th attacks the New York City Marathon was run, and broadcast all over the world. Immediately after the attacks on the World Trade Centre New York’s Race Director Allan Steinfeld had thought that the race could not take place, but he changed his opinion within days. One week later Steinfeld and the Mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, pledged that the race would go ahead. This New York City Marathon on 4 November 2001 was a remarkable and unique celebration of life, and Race number from the a tremendous achievement for 100th Boston Marathon. the sport of road running. © Sportmuseum Berlin/ AIMS Marathon-Museum Naturally major maraof Running/ thon races that produced Forum für Sportgeschichte Grete Waitz, a former world record holder and a record nine-time winner of the New York Marathon, runs the 1992 race together with the founder and race director Fred Lebow, who died two years later. © www.photorun.net world records received a lot of international attention.

Despite the tragedy of September 11th 2001 in New York and its effects on the global economy AIMS experienced rapid membership growth that year, followed by steady increases subsequently. The positive effects of road running were becoming widely appreciated and it was becoming more and more popular in more and more regions of the world. AIMS is in a position to assist in developing the sport even further. At our 25th anniversary we turn to our sponsors and supporters and thank them for all their help and support, without which AIMS could not work with such success. Held in March 2001 the 13th World Congress of AIMS was auspicious rather than unlucky. Organised by Turin Marathon race director Luigi Chiabrera and his staff at the StarHotel Majestic, the Turin Congress heralded a significant increase in membership later that year. Sports promoters tend to agree that sponsorship comes in more easily when economies are firmly in the black. As the second millennium closed boom conditions prevailed with economic indices at their highest ever levels, mostly driven by the hype surrounding the telecommunications and internet balloon. Then, at the beginning of 2001, economies came back to earth with a bump, if not a fullyfledged crash. Just as the global economy was assimilating the effects of the loss of confidence in new technologies the September 11th attacks came in and the entire world held its breath. Under these circumstances the New York City Marathon took centre stage, born again in its 32nd edition. Anyone involved in road running will know what this race represents but at the time of the 2001 race it took on huge global significance. Allan Steinfeld, his NYC Marathon team and the throngs of spectators on the streets mounted a spectacle on that first Sunday of November that year that I will always remember as one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my life. 25 YEARS OF AIMS Showing their respect for the victims of the September 11th attacks on New York and Washington runners of the Berlin Marathon held up a huge banner before the start of the race on 30 September 2001. It read ‘United we run’ and showed the logos of the Berlin and New York races. New York’s race director Allan Steinfeld made a short speech to the runners before the start of the Berlin Marathon. The banner was then sent to New York and laid down next to the start of the New York City Marathon on Verrazano Narrows Bridge on 4 November. 2001 TO 2006 New York City Marathon 2001 © www.photorun.net Gripped by the TV images I admired the whole event and could not stop the tears flowing. I realised how much the marathon world was showing on that day. The NYC Marathon was taking place as usual, yes. But much more than that, the whole City of New York was alive more than ever, standing up and proud, having chosen the best possible face to show to the world. Beyond all previous expectations AIMS membership made a great leap forward in 2001. Was it an outgrowth of the Turin Congress? Was it due to a greater awareness of road running events in city administrations? Or was it a natural increase due to AIMS members effectively spreading the word about the Association’s aims and objectives? Most likely it was all of these factors taken together, but the outcome was that membership that year started at 136 and jumped to 158. The increase in membership had great positive impact. Distance Running increased from two editions a year to three, and with content was enriched.

He was appointed as the first chairman of the then newly formed AIMS Technical Committee. Allan Steinfeld, who was born in 1946, became a member of New York Road Runners (NYRR) in 1963. In 1978, Fred Lebow hired him to assist in planning and executing New York Road Runners events. Steinfeld became the Technical Director of the New York City Marathon in 1981, the President of NYRR in 1993, and CEO of NYRR and the Race Director of the New York City Marathon in 1994 following Lebow’s death. In April 2005 he stepped down from these positions and assumed the new roles of Vice Chairman of NYRR and the Executive Director of the ING New York City Marathon. Allan Steinfeld was the chief marathon referee for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. He has been technical advisor for the network television and world broadcasts of several Olympic Games, and serves as the consultant for television broadcasts of the NYC Marathon and other NYRRC races. He was a consultant to the 1984 Olympic Marathons, London, Los Angeles, Rio Marathons and many other races. In 1984 the World Cross Country Championships were held outside Europe for the first time. They took place at Meadowlands, New York, and Allan Steinfeld was the event director.

This had been a delicate issue for almost a decade. Up to the official recognition of world records in 2003 by the IAAF Congress fastest times were listed as ‘world bests’ instead of world records. The description as ‘world best’ originated from times when measurement of courses was not at today’s standard and when there were no criteria set to establish the eligibility of a potentially record-breaking course The more professional road races became in terms of overall organisation (including measurement) the more they felt devalued by the ‘threat’ of getting the fastest time officially reduced to merely a ‘world best’ instead of a world record. After an IAAF Council Meeting in 2002 it seemed that the governing body would stick to the term ‘world best’. Organisers of renowned marathon races in which the fastest times had been set then argued publicly and in conjunction with AIMS in favour of world records in road running. A proposal was adopted by the AIMS Congress at Niagara Falls in October 2002. The Congress decided that if IAAF did not establish world records at its 2003 Congress, AIMS would adopt and promote its own AIMS WORLD RECORDS in marathons. AIMS members also agreed that only one women’s world record should be listed, which could be achieved in either a mixed or a women-only event. The allowable separation between start and finish was changed to 50% (from 30%) of the race distance in order to agree with changes that IAAF had already made. In the end the potentially confusing possibility of having IAAF World Bests and AIMS World Records was avoided. On 21 August 2003 IAAF Congress approved the recognition of official IAAF World Records in Road Races for the following events: 10km, 15km, 20km, Half Marathon, 25km, 30km, Marathon, 100km and Ekiden Road Relay (with stages of 5km, 10km, 5km, 10km, 5km and 7.195km). AIMS President Hiroaki Chosa commented “AIMS welcomes the IAAF decision, taken at the Congress in Paris, to recognise ‘World Records’ in road racing subject to well-defined criteria for their ratification. […] We believe that this will enhance public appreciation of truly great performances”. 44 2001 TO 2006 25 YEARS OF AIMS New York also resigned a few months later.

The joint AIMS-IAAF publication Distance founder of the London Marathon, Hugh Jones and Running had attained a readership of more than one myself representing AIMS, Mario Kadiks from the million people. Taking these facts into account the Rotterdam Marathon and David Bedford and Nick Valencia Congress set up a marketing committee Bitel from the London Marathon, where Sue started to improve our business control reporting, reinforce Big Sur International Marathon Distance Running Archive our course measurement policies, and expand communication channels to members, largely through a complete redesign of the AIMS website. The year 2005 brought a mixture of good and bad news. The success of reaching a peak of 225 members was tempered by the resignation of the London Marathon, a founder member.

IAAF General Secretary Pierre Weiss gave a heartfelt appreciation of a highly professional woman, heavily involved in many aspects of IAAF, helpful, considerate, knowledgeable and funny. She had also a crucial role in relations between IAAF and AIMS. As she used to say, her family was the whole athletics community. I am sure she would have been happy to see that representatives from all entities of athletics, including her closest friends from IAAF, AIMS and London were there to give her the last tribute. A positive move in 2006 was the start of the new AIMS/ChampionChip Innovation Award, designed to reward innovation in race organisation. This fits neatly alongside AIMS’ traditional objectives to exchange information, knowledge and expertise among members. A jury will determine 45 25 YEARS OF AIMS 100 miles of the Namib Desert © Adriano Zito North Pole Marathon 2006 © Mike King this award involves the entire membership of AIMS: 235 events spread among 80 countries and territories. Winners are presented at one of the AIMS events held during the following year. We are and will be grateful to the IAAF for their friendship and their appreciation of the particular expertise that AIMS can offer on road running matters. As the world governing body for athletics IAAF has our total commitment and support. It is a source of pride that such a good relationship has been built up, based on our common objective of serving the sport of distance running to the best of our knowledge and ability. AIMS is a member-centred organisation. The reason for which AIMS was created, and for which AIMS will always work, is to provide members with a platform from which they can better develop and promote their events. For the last few years the bulk of AIMS’ income has been derived from membership dues, so that AIMS has in a way become its own main sponsor. This gives us all the more reason to firmly adhere to the objectives set in our Articles of Association: to foster and promote road running throughout the world, to work with IAAF on road running matters, and to exchange knowledge and expertise between members. Our aim is a never ending task. Running is our sport; this is what we love, and serving this cause allows us to walk tall and proud. Improving the accuracy, safety and security of courses, improving doping controls, promoting children’s races and similar endeavours, extending knowledge of race organisation, listening to our members, looking for innovations which would help our work and facilitate communications – all these are important aspects of our overall task. In summary, AIMS accepts the challenge of continuously striving for AIMS and IAAF always had a close relationship.

Distance Running Archive Olympic motto “faster, higher, stronger...” the winner of the award for each period between AIMS Congresses, with the first presentation being made at the 16th World Congress of AIMS in Xiamen in March 2007. AIMS is currently in good health because both our sponsors and our members are strongly behind our activities, and because our relationship with IAAF is based on professionalism, transparency and reliability, and works smoothly. Our gratitude and respect goes to the sponsors, who support our association. ASICS has been the most important sponsor over the whole period, but AIMS received significant additional support from Konica (latterly Konica-Minolta Holdings), Citizen, Rohm, and Sammy (latterly Sega-Sammy). ChampionChip has become an increasingly significant source of support and has recently taken the role of presenting sponsor, aside from their additional input to the Innovation Award. We also thank our supporting sponsors: MarathonPhotos.com and 1000km Promotions. The long-term commitment by ASICS has allowed the annual presentation of the AIMS/ASICS Golden Shoe trophy, awarded each year to the best male and female runner. The nomination process for 46 2001 TO 2006 25 YEARS OF AIMS RUNNING INTO THE FUTURE ■ As a worldwide organisation AIMS embraces a very wide range of running events spread all over the world. Among its 235-strong membership some races are held in highly developed cities and attract tens of thousands of runners. Others are held in more remote locations against a background of general poverty. Despite the huge differences between races each of them is a celebration of life through running and they share more in common than marks them apart. The growing realisation of running as a common cause throughout the world has led to many links being established between races, for which AIMS provides a forum. Organising this more formally, around particular issues, can capture the attention of a wider public, as some commercial ventures in the field had demonstrated over the previous two years. As a result, AIMS launched the Children’s Series at the beginning of 2006, to assist member races in promoting running among children. AIMS President Hiroaki Chosa said: “Many great athletes have often emerged against great adversity. We are seeking to encourage more young children to follow their dreams and to aim for a healthy life.” The member races involved in this pilot project were the Sahara Marathon in Algeria, the Kathmandu Peace Run in Nepal and the Great Ethiopian Run in Addis Ababa. The specific intention was to support races in poorer countries since a number of big international race organisers in wealthier countries had already included children’s races alongside their main events. This was for example done with great success in London, Stockholm and Berlin. In the German capital about 10,000 pupils participate in the Mini Marathon staged in parallel with the Berlin Marathon. The first event of the AIMS project was met with great enthusiasm. “The children’s race was something awesome” wrote Mattia Durli. “Almost 1000 kids took part in the 800m race, divided by age groups and according to schools. Each child ran with the AIMS Children’s Series t-shirt and received the medal at the end. All this took place against the background of severe flooding only two weeks before the races. The race raised morale, along with 12,000 euros for the projected sports centre.” The second stage took place in Nepal on 22 October, in association with the Samsung Kathmandu 5km Peace Run. Setting off from the City Hall building, with the temples and stupas of Durbar Square in the background, the combined field created a long snaking trail along New Road around Ratna Park and then eastward out to Baneshwor, to finish © Great Ethiopian Run at the gates of the gigantic Birendra International Convention Centre. There were three age groups, each divided into boys’ and girls’ categories, identified by a letter code to pick them out at the finish line. After unseasonal showers in the preceding days and in the afternoon after the race, the sun smiled on the runners. So much so that despite starting at 8 am it was already warm by the time the front runners finished. The first few of them had serious expressions, but soon the grounds of the convention centre filled up with smiling runners, proudly sporting their medals and clutching their certificates as they tucked into their breakfast packs. The AIMS Children’s Series 2006 was rounded off in Addis Ababa on 25 November, by a series of four separate races conducted the day before the 6th Toyota Great Ethiopian Run 10km. The size of the fields were limited in this inaugural event to a total of 3,000 runners split into boys and girls and two age categories. The size of the competitors varied from tiny through small to medium. In the under 8s events some serious racing went on up front, but the tiny kids trailing in their wake ran the whole way. The start and finish were located in the huge amphitheatre surrounding Meskal Square. The course was 1200m in length, comprising a lap of Meskal Square and an out and back section up a testing slope. As parents dashed from one side of the square to the other to catch the action the kids concentrated their efforts admirably; coming back into the Square for the long curving run-in to the finish they showed easy form and complete awareness of what was required. In the under 11s girls’ race the first three finishers all ran barefoot. After crossing the finish line each participant was awarded a drink and a bottle, biscuits and a medal, as race officials ticked their T-shirts as a receipt. Gradually the Square filled up with kids basking in the sunshine, laughing and chatting with friends and sporting the spoils of their participation. An award ceremony was held at which the top three in each category received plaques from a trio of distinguished personages: Carolina Klüft, Sonia O’Sullivan and race patron Haile Gebrselassie. The original Series venues will be revisited in 2007, and the list may be expanded to cover other races. ASICS, a major longtime sponsor of AIMS, is developing direct input into the programme and a separate “runners help runners” element is being introduced.
