In Memory of Ted Corbitt

Ted Corbitt as he departed for the 1962 London to Brighton Race. This was the cover photo of the October 1962 issue of the Long Distance Log.
One of the real giants of our sport, Ted Corbitt, has passed away. Ted was one of the founding fathers of the NY Road Runners and also of the Road Runners Club of America. He was on the 1952 Olympic Marathon Team and literally wrote the book on course measurement. Mr. Corbitt, who lived in New York City, was 87 years old.
