Why Run New York?
There are few experiences like running the ING New York City Marathon! With five bridges, five boroughs and two million spectators lining the course, this is an event that you most definitely should not miss.
 From the buzz of the early morning arrival by bus on Staten Island where 35,000 runners nervously wait for the start, to the finish in Central Park, your emotions work overtime as you take in the sights and sounds of one of the world’s most vibrant cities. Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and then the streets of Manhattan take you on a running journey like no other.
Throughout marathon weekend, from the moment that you arrive to the minute that you leave, New York City feels consumed by this unique event. Everywhere that you look on Friday and Saturday runners from all over the world can be seen anxiously discussing the race. At the expo the hype is even more intense as the day draws ever closer. On Monday morning proud finishers sporting their medals pick their way through the crowded streets safe in the knowledge that they are one of only 700,000 people worldwide who have taken part in the dream that is the ING New York City Marathon.
Make sure that you join them!
