Notes: The 1990-91 and 1997 courses drop 10 m/km. The 1993 course was short. Championships were held in conjunction with the annual track and field championships through 1976. From 1977 through 1980, a separate championships race was held. Starting in 1981, the championships have been held in conjunction with an existing marathon (champions may not be the race winners in such cases).
