Hopefully you're all aware that the great Syd Barrett passed away yesterday in Cambridge, England. I'm trying to prove that a couple of years ago before his death, Syd Barrett ran a marathon. I'm having trouble finding an article or something to prove this. Am I crazy and just making this up?? Please advise. Thanks!

The only marathon he ran was a marathon of LSD and quaalude use.

That is the first I've ever heard about it.
The only "marathon" Syd was involved in, was his intake of LSD.
Sorry to hear he's gone, but maybe he'll find some peace...at least on a real high (i.e., heaven).

LOL
He may have ran one in his mind.
Several, in fact.
Syd had been in very poor health for a long long time .... rest in peace now Crazy Diamond.

I don't remember ever hearing anything about this but I'm going to see what others have to say.

i highly doubt it..he became quite a recluse...i dont think he ever came out of his house apart from for buying groceries and paint supplies every now and then...i dont blame him...stalkers and photographers and whatnot..

go to local library and look in archives or past papers you should find something there.
