The 1904 Summer Olympics were held in St. Louis, Missouri, the first Games hosted outside Europe, again run alongside a World's Fair and stretched across many months. Travel difficulties meant the vast majority of the roughly 650 athletes were American, and the Games are remembered for the chaotic marathon, in which the initial finisher was disqualified after part of the course was covered by car. St. Louis also hosted the so-called Anthropology Days, a widely criticized sideshow event not recognized as part of the official athletic program.
