The New York City Marathon has an overwhelming number of applicants, yet only 4 percent will gain entry, illustrating the race's immense desirability.
For many runners, the NYC marathon isn’t just about the race itself; it’s about the communal experience of being cheered on by countless spectators.
Despite the overwhelming excitement, some runners have expressed a desire for less crowd noise, suggesting that the constant cheering can be exhausting during the race.
Nick Parisi, whose photo was used in rejection emails, humorously referred to himself as 'the most hated person in running' despite his own struggles with entry.
