Bunion Derby Runner Seeks More Jobs After Coast to Coast Race
San Francisco July 6. Italian runner Peter Gavuzzi, already a jockey, carpenter, meat carver and interpreter, completed the 1929 Pyle bunion derby from New York to Los Angeles, earning $10,000. He plans to brand himself as a professional foot racer, claims to have gained weight during the 3,687 miles in 526 hours, and notes the race yielded mainly callouses and blisters rather than bunions. Fellow entrants Newton and Umek visited San Francisco with Gavuzzi, who says he could run 1,500 more miles if needed.
