New York Marathon 2011

6th November 2011. The ING New York Marathon is one of the most popular big city marathons in the world, with thousands of runners taking part each year. The first New York City Marathon, in 1970, was four-plus laps of Central Park. In 1976, in celebration of the U.S. bicentennial, NYRR moved the marathon to the streets of New York's five boroughs: Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan. The course united dozens of culturally and ethnically diverse neighborhoods, crossed five bridges, and finished at Tavern on the Green in world-famous Central Park. The course continues to challenge thousands of athletes every year and has become a model for big-city marathon courses around the world. You can see the interactive course map HERE. And better yet, why not run the race for the rainforest!
