The Men's marathon 1A was a wheelchair marathon event in athletics at the 1984 Summer Paralympics. It was designed for male athletes in category 1A, with the most severe levels of disability. Three runners participated: Heinrich Koeberle from West Germany, and H. Lobbering (full name not recorded), and Rainer Kueschall of Switzerland. Since there were only three participants, all were guaranteed a medal upon finishing the race. However, only Koeberle managed to finish, clocking a time of three hours, forty-one minutes and forty-seven seconds, earning him the gold medal."New York / Stoke Mandeville 1984 Paralympic Games: Athletics: Men's Marathon 1A", International Paralympic Committee
