  • Pre-1850s in sports – The ancient Games. Military training. English sport prospers with aristocratic gaming and suffers under Puritan power. Professional competition develops in cricket, boxing, and horse racing. Around 1850, walking races and river races become "the new thing" and attract betting by rich and poor alike. Walking races cover anything up to 3 days or 250 miles. Both river races and walking races attract enormous crowds; this lasts until after the turn of the century.
