UF Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
This collection consists of five scrapbooks compiled by Reed G. Hart, Jr., documenting his leadership of jogging clubs in Kwajalein (Marshall Islands) and Saudi Arabia from 1968 to 1983. The scrapbooks contain black-and-white and color photographs, news clippings, race scorecards, and other memorabilia chronicling the activities of the Kwajalein Jogging League and the Saudi Arabian Jogging Association. The Kwajalein volumes feature events such as the 6-mile, 10-mile, and 1,000-mile competitions, as well as a biathlon; they also highlight team and individual participation across a wide demographic. Notably, the 1973–1974 scrapbook includes coverage of Lili Ledbetter, a record-setting young runner. The Saudi Arabian scrapbook, which includes less youth participation, documents marathons and features images of both running events and local scenery. Together, these materials provide insight into expatriate athletic culture and recreational programming during the late 20th century.
Hart, Reed G., Jr., 1926–2014
