Joseph Forshaw, Jr. (May 13, 1881 – November 26, 1964) was an American athlete who competed mainly in the Marathon.
He competed for the United States in the 1908 Summer Olympics held in London, Great Britain in the Marathon where he won the bronze medal. At the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm he was 10th in the Marathon.
On May 6, 1905, Forshaw beat Sidney Hatch and Felix Carvajol to win the Missouri Athletic Club's All-Western Marathon in a time of 3:15:58.[1] Three years later on May 2, 1908, he finished second to Hatch in the same race(2:30:01).[1] In both races, Forshaw competed for the Missouri Athletic Club.[1]
Forshaw was selected to represent the United States in the marathon at the 1906 Olympic Games.[2] He was reported to have been from St. Louis.[2]
In March, 1912, Forshaw was one of "twenty of the best distance runners in the middle west" scheduled to participate in a 20-mile indoor marathon at Riverview Rink in Chicago, Illinois.[3] He also finished second to Joseph Erxleben in the 25-mile Missouri Athletic Club marathon in St. Louis on May 4, 1912 to earn a spot on the United States Olympic Team.[4][5]
