In 1897, the first official YMCA cross-country turkey day run took place about five months before the first Boston Marathon.

For decades, the race was officially sanctioned by the Central YMCA downtown, and the winner received the Express (later Courier-Express) Cup, provided by the Buffalo newspaper owned by William J. Conners.

118 years ago today... President McKinley and Leon Czolgosz; the assassin, first met at Central Park Station on the Belt Line. Leon Czolgosz met the train on arrival from Niagara Falls, a cannon fired to welcome the President, the windows of the train shattered and the crowd yelled "Anarchists!" This scared off the assassin and he tried again later at the Pan Am Exposition. Central Park Station is a commercial building now used as a home.
