New York City Marathon

Now the largest marathon in the world, this New York event is held annually in November. Organizers select participants from over 100,000 applicants worldwide, predominately through a lottery system. Runners are treated to a tour of the city as a section of the course is found in each of the five boroughs. Hundreds of thousands of spectators line the marathon route to cheer on the participants.
