New York City MarathonThe most common complaint we hear from tourists is that they never have time to see enough of the City. Want the fastest way to see all of NYC? Try the New York City Marathon, where you can literally run through all five boroughs of the City in a single day! The course of the race, held this year on November 5th, covers parts of Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

85,000 professional and amateur runners are already scheduled to participate. And there may still be time to join them. While general applications for this year’s race are no longer being accepted, there is a special offer that is currently still available on the event’s official website (www.nycmarathon.org). A certain number of guaranteed entries are being held for participants who will agree to run the race as a means of raising money for one of the charities selected by the event. So you can not only have the thrill of running the marathon, but you can get the added rush of knowing that you are helping others. There are a limited number of these special slots left, so act quickly! For more details visit their website and click on “The Event/Charities”.
