The Polytechnic Marathon, commonly known as the Poly, took place in the United Kingdom's first annual marathon between 1909 and 1996. It was originally run over a route of 26 miles and 385 yards, but it was later approved as the global standard. The Poly had its roots in the 1908 Summer Olympics, which were held in London. The marathon's organisation had been left in the care of The Polytechnic Harriers, the athletics club of The Regent Street Polytechnic, which is now the University of Westminster. No set distance for the marathon had existed in those days; it was simply a very long run, about 25 miles in length. The Polytechnic Harriers selected Windsor Castle's entrance as the starting point, with the finish line in front of the royal box at White City Stadium. The distance was estimated to be 26 miles, 385 yards, which was later adopted as the international standard in 1924.

After a photo of her school-aged son giving a Nazi salute surfaced, a GOP leader is being asked to resign, a GOP leader is facing calls to resign. Rep. Vikki Breese-Iverson's nixing is The Oregon Diversity Project, a 'Black femme led group committed to providing mutual assistance, identification, cooperation, and representation to black and indigenous people of color' in the state's central area. The group, as hundreds of others over the weekend, protested the new widely seen snap, which took place last week at the Erickson Aircraft Collection. When posing next to a vintage German fighter plane used in WWII, one of the fifth generation Oregon rancher's two sons, Alex Iverson, respectfully imitates the Third Reich's famous greeting. Breese-Iverson, 48, now serves as the House Minorities leader, a position that was less than two years into her political career. She has since released an apology, as well as a snapshot of a handwritten apology penned by son Alex.
