Notes
- ^ The marathon world record progression of the Association of Road Running Statisticians includes Piercy, however, it notes Marie-Louise Ledru of France as the first woman.[42] According to the ARRS, Ledru ran 5:40:xx at the Tour de Paris Marathon held on 29 September 1918.[45]
- ^ A number of sources, including Kathrine Switzer, have reported that the venue for Piercy's mark was the actual Polytechnic Marathon;[56] however, records from the Association of Road Racing Statisticians confirm that the 1926 Polytechnic Marathon was held on 18 May.[57] The course for the Polytechnic Marathon did vary over the years[58] and there is currently very little information available to state exactly which route was run by Piercy. Although the IAAF progression notes the location for her performance as "Chiswick",[47] the Polytechnic Marathon did not end in Chiswick until 1938.[58] Prior to 1933, the Polytechnic Marathon ended at Stamford Bridge in West London.[58] An ESPN reference does note Stamford Bridge as the location where Piercy's run finished.[59]
