The Marathon championships were the San Francisco Marathon for men and the Avon International Marathon for women.
In addition to being the National Championship, it was the selection meet to international teams including for the 1983 World Championships in Athletics.
This meet is famous for Carl Lewis' 200 meters, where after clearly separating from his competitors. he began celebrating more than 10 meters from the finish. Presumed to have slowed because of the celebration, Lewis missed Pietro Mennea's altitude assisted world record by .03. While he won the Olympic gold medal the following year, Lewis would never run faster.
