Beginning on Staten Island, 40,000 + runners cross the Verranzano Bridge into Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, then back into Manhattan for a super finish in Central Park at Tavern on the Green.

My first marathon in 2002. Ran a 3:34:27 and had the time of my life. It happens the first Sunday in November. Highlights include the many diverse
neighborhoods of Brooklyn and the First Ave crowds.

Returned in 2007 for a leisurely 4:09:15.  Lesson learned... the longer you are out there, the more it hurts!
