Description
Pictured in circa 1910 are members of the Sacramento Athletic Club. The group’s prime interests were track and field. The marathon held particular appeal, especially after Dorando Pietri’s dramatic finish at the 1908 London Olympics. In its wake, the club promoted a relay race around the Capitol Building which drew 2,000 spectators. It was also at about this time that the organization settled on new meeting quarters at the Meister Building on Ninth Street, between I and J Streets.
