The race was run during the hottest part of the day on dusty country roads with minimal water supply; while 32 athletes coming from seven nations (the United States, France, Cuba, Greece, the Orange River Colony, Great Britain, and Canada) competed, only 14 managed to complete the race,[2] which was a bizarre affair due to poor organization and officiating.[3] While Frederick Lorz was greeted as the apparent winner, he was later disqualified as he had hitched a ride in a car for part of the race.
