Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Physical Education Review, Vol. 3
The Slaukas, or double course of the stadion, was introduced in the 14th Olympiad. This race required that the runner, after hav ing traversed the 200 yards and reached the goal, should return to the point of starting. As he rounded the goal he described an arc, and on his way back took the opposite side of the track in order that he might not collide with other runners.
