Notes: 1955 was the inaugural year. A solo trial run was made in 1954 by Bill Kelly who ran 4:08:08. The course initially was 37.5 miles but was lengthened thru 1964 when it was advertised as 39.5 miles. The course was lengthened to a reported 40 miles in 1965 but the course was never measured accurately.
