Tarzan Brown was an amazing
athlete who lived a hard, impoverished life but faced the world with dignity and
strength.  There are so many legendary
and half-true mysteries about the man and his career as a runner that his many
accomplishments might seem less interesting: but above all know this: that
Tarzan Brown was a free spirit, a man who loved to run and his very life
honored his brave tribal ancestors; the Narragansett people, one of the leading
tribes of New England with a culture that has existed for thirty thousand
years.

His Algonquian name was Attuck-Quock-Wussete
which means “Deerfoot”; he is a legend in our sport and one of the many reasons
why the Boston Marathon is the greatest of all Marathons.
