Aracely looks much better than I did after finishing Chicago. Congrats!! My friend wants me to run NY with her…. it’s on my long-term list. I’m giving marathons a break for now and sticking to halves for a bit.

They welcome many volunteers for these races. You can get information via the New York Road Runners club. They typically manage the races in NYC. You would have a wonderful time. They also run races through Central Park all year long where you can volunteer.

Thanks Kristin! It was an awesome experience, even as a spectator. I was so amazed at the crowds enthusiasm and international mix. It was a great feeling to be a part of it all. Congratulations to your Aunt also! It’s a great feat no matter when she ran it.

That sounds like quite a different level or organization there. Running in these races, or even walking, is such a wonderful way to experience new places. How often do we get to walk / run over bridges in major cities with no cars!

Congrats. Perhaps I should try this on horseback? Ha.

SO cool. I have always wanted to run this marathon. But an injury in high school that was never corrected has taken me out of running. Instead, I hope I get to volunteer one day. This was a really great post!

Great post Jason! I went last year, traveled from Colombia overnight to NYC to watch my aunt run and it was such an amazing experience!! The event is truly a collaboration from runners all over the world and the people on the sidelines always had the most incredible stories!! Everyone should go watch this race at least once!! Even for me, watching my aunt run was such an emotional experience. Thanks for sharing and congrats to aracely!

We ran in the Eurasia Marathon in Istanbul this year – except not the marathon. We did the 15k and 8k. Great fun running across the Bosphorus Bridge! Not quite as organised as the New York marathon judging by your post. No refreshments for us 8k runners – unless we bought a bottle of water from the street sellers!
