"The annual ceremonial painting of the blue line officially began on Oct. 29 at 67th Street and Central Park West, as city officials and New York Road Runners (NYRR) coordinators prepare for over 55,000 runners to complete the 26.2-mile course spanning all five boroughs, which takes place on Nov. 2. Last year, we broke the record for the largest marathon ever with 55,600 finishers,"
"The New York City Marathon is uniquely inclusive and accessible, with the professional winners, including Olympians and Paralympians, running right in front of our final finishers and participants from more than 150 countries, between the ages of, and this is true, 18 on the low end to 91 years old. Simmelkjaer shared that this expansive event attracts thousands of runners and more than two million spectators every year,"
