I loved the coverage this weekend of the millionth finisher of the NYC Marathon. Just a great milestone for a truly great race in a truly great city. And I’m so happy to see the actual millionth finisher is just a regular runner like you or me: a Mom, resident of NYC, and a back-of-the-packer. If I was running, with that finishing time, it could have been me winning the free lifetime entry!
Here’s to another million finishers for the New York City Marathon!
Interestingly, NYCM was not the first race with a million finishers – check out the Great North Run half marathon over in the UK, which also recently celebrated it’s millionth finisher!
