Marathon winner Thomas Hicks resting after the race

• The 1904 Olympic marathon, one of the strangest events in the history of the modern Olympic Games, took place in St. Louis, Missouri. The race was held in 90 °F (32 °C) temperatures, with only two water sources available, 6 miles (9.7 km) and 12 miles (19 km) along the 40-kilometre (25 mi) course, due to Olympic organizer James Edward Sullivan's desire to conduct research on "purposeful dehydration". The first man to cross the finish line, American runner Frederick Lorz (who would win the Boston Marathon the following year), was disqualified due to having ridden most of the distance in a car after dropping out 9 miles (14 km) into the race. The actual winner, English-born American runner Thomas Hicks, was administered strychnine and brandy during the race by his support team, who ultimately carried him across the finish line while he shuffled his feet in the air. Hicks' winning time of 3:28:53 remains the slowest in Olympic marathon history. Cuban runner Andarín Carvajal finished fourth despite taking a nap in the middle of the race after eating rotten apples. The ninth and twelfth place finishers, Len Taunyane and Jan Mashiani, were the first South Africans to compete in the Olympics.
