About the TCS New York City Marathon
The New York City Marathon takes a road course through all five boroughs, crossing bridges and running through neighborhoods that shift in character from block to block. The crowd support is dense and loud for most of the route, which is part of what makes this particular marathon unlike most others on the calendar.
This entry comes through the Semper Fi & America's Fund charity program, which means you are running with a fundraising commitment attached. The team gathers the day before the race, and there is a pre-race get-together that doubles as a chance to meet the other runners on the squad before the start.
