Shot on 8mm film in 1951, this vintage home movie captures a marathon race in Boston, Massachusetts. A male runner in a white and black athletic uniform with bib number 89 sprints down a residential street, his focused expression visible as he passes parked classic cars from the era. Other runners and spectators in period clothing appear in the background, with leafless trees and suburban homes lining the route. The footage exhibits natural film grain, slight motion blur, and authentic color shifts typical of 1950s home movies, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-century American athletic events.
