Great Video, thank you. My first Marathon-what an experience! I am from Canada and have to say New Yorkers are the best, thank you each of you for your encouragement along the route, something that really has to be experienced to be believed!

Best run of my life! My slowest marathon ever, but I'm eager to run it again!

I am running it this Sunday 11/6/11. It will be my first marathon ever. This video both pumps me up and intimidates me too. Wow, there is a lot of road there. I have run 20 miles twice in preparation but never 26.2.

Thank you for the great video. Even after 12 years still very informative for my marathon preparation, I am a participant in 2023.

Thanks for this! So many memories!

Wonderful! Thanks for posting this!

Thanks! Great video.

It's so exciting running my first NY Marathon. Nice video. Getting nervous

Thank you! It's look very interesting!

Top quality video to' be' ready on nov 7. Good luck everyone and enjoy the race. A

Personal worst time, personal best experience as a runner. Wow from 2023. End in Central Park is a bit different today :)

Very cool!

@robbyled Hey that sounds great to me. Congratulations! Running a marathon is hard enough without getting attacked by pain out of nowhere. I'll see you at the start line in November. Good luck.

This is an accurate video, but what you don't see is the crowds that will be there cheering for you , several people deep in many places. That's what makes all the difference.

Very cool.

Well done.

@robbyled Same as myself, looking forward to it though :) Have a good race

@dddaaaannnnn Not as well as I projected: 4:32. I have run 2 different half marathons at 1:56. I got my ass kicked that day. Started out running slow for me 9:40's which is like a minute slower than my 5K/10K pace with the intention to run faster the second half of the race. By Mile 9, I started getting calf pain for some reason and had to slow it down even more. Don't know what went wrong for me that day but I am not giving up. Still training and will be in it again this year. thx for asking

good job my bro from Kenya

Trippy!

thanks

Oh yeah. I am freaking nervous now:-(

@robbyled How did you end up doing?

as a lifelong Bostonian and a 2009 NYC Marathon finisher, I disagree with rbeacons: The NYC Marathon is IN NYC! The "Boston" Marathon has about one mile that's actually in Boston, so who's the imposter? BTW, 43,000+ runners and 2.5million+ spectators make the NYC Marathon the single largest sporting event in the world.

police motorcycle.

why is he the only runner?
