Harte’s closest brush with a world-class runner came while waiting for a portable toilet with three-time Boston Marathon winner Moses Tanui, a Keynan.
The race was somewhat less glamorous for Harvard’s bandit runners, especially with their worries about simply starting the race.
“You look for places where race officials aren’t looking and then you jump over the barricade [and start running],” said Matthew R. Cordell ‘01.
Runners drew their inspiration from the half-million spectators lining the course.
“There aren’t more than 20 yards without a spectator,” said Jordon “Jack” A. Chase ‘02.
Jane A. Lindholm ‘01, a first-time marathon runner who finished in 4:43, said the crowd support helped her to finish the race.
Following the practice of many runners, Lindholm wrote her first name across her shirt.
