Organisers concede there is lack of evidence that phrase actually came from poet
, despite the organisers conceding there is a lack of evidence that the quote actually came from the poet.
The organisers of the marathon designed this year’s medal to pay tribute to Yeats on the 100th anniversary of his receipt of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. The medal will feature the phrase: “There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven’t met yet”, alongside a portrait of the Dublin-born poet.
Despite acknowledging the lack of evidence that Yeats ever said or wrote the line, race organisers said the medals have already been manufactured and will still be presented to runners who complete the marathon on October 29th.
