Big Time City Your Ultimate Guide to the City!
The 42nd running of the ING New York City Marathon was held today. There was over 47,000 people in the race that took to the streets to accomplish what probably would mark an epic moment in each one of their lives. Every runner had their own reason for taking on the challenge of the New York City marathon and all appeared to be very proud of it.
You had the pro athletes who were running to win and to have the title of the New York City Marathon winner under their belt, and then you had others that ran for charity and in support of loved ones. There was even a couple that got married while running. For whatever the reasons were, the race was truly inspiring to watch and each runner that took part in the marathon can be proud, for attempting such a feat.
