On August 28th, 1977 a mini-marathon was held in New York’s Chinatown. While little information is available about the marathon aside from the above photographs taken by Emile Bocian, it appears that the marathon started and finished on Mott Street and saw runners running across the Manhattan Bridge. According to the sparse notes taken by Bocian, a known sensationalist, one of the runners was 67-year old Chan-Ling Wang that Bocian writes was “China’s most famous marathon runner.”
