"On Sunday, Nov. 3, the city will be overflowing with athletes, cheering crowds, and high energy, and runners will spend the most miles in Brooklyn - 11 miles of the course are in Kings County, from the Verrazano Bridge to the Pulaski."
"Of course, hundreds of Brooklynites will take part in the marathon - but two in particular will run with New York Road Runners' Team Inspire , a group of 26 people bringing purpose to their races."
"Ocean Hill resident LaDawn Jefferson is running to support the Red Door Community, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting cancer patients and their families. Jefferson found Red Door while battling Stage 4 Breast Cancer, and she's giving back to the org now that she's in remission."
"Back on the course for the first time since 2017 is 33-time marathoner Larry Lewis. A South Slope resident, Lewis had a stroke days before the 2018 marathon, and now - after learning how to walk again - will return in a racing chair alongside a guide from Achilles International."
