Course Notes: The 1908 race course was from Windsor Park to Wembley Park. For the 1909-1932 races, the course was
from Windsor (Park or Castle) to the Stamford Bridge track. For the 1933-1937 races, the course was from Windsor
Castle to the White City stadium. The course starting in 1938 was from Windsor Castle to Chiswick stadium with
the following exceptions. The 1940 race was apparently held entirely within Windsor Great Park. For the 1941-1945
races, the course started and finished in Chiswick stadium. For the 1973-1987 races, the course was a loop starting
and finishing in Windsor. Many smaller course alterations were made over the years.

Note: For races prior to 1940, not all
the finishers were timed and recorded. Cutoff-times of 3:15 or 3:20 were
used for most races in the 1920's and 1930's. For example, in 1928, 85
started but only 15 were officially timed. The numbers for 1930, 1932,
1936, and 1938 are probably less than the actual number of recorded finishers.
