Tarzan Jones wins his second Marathon

Tarzan Jones in the 1939 Boston Marathon

In 1939, three years after he had bested local favorite Johnny Kelly - barefoot, and with a burst of speed at the top of what is now Heartbreak Hill - Ellison "Tarzan" Jones won his second Boston Marathon.

Not Jones.

One of the great Marathon stories, though, and thanks for reminding me of it, Adam!
