New York City Marathon

Ranked #21,265 in Sports & Recreation, #515,501 overall

The ING New York City Marathon is one of the world's great road races, drawing more than 90,000 applicants. The race attracts many world-class professional athletes, not only for the more than $600,000 in prize money, but also for the chance to excel in the media capital of the world before two million cheering spectators and 315 million worldwide television viewers. As any one of the more than 700,000 past participants will attest, crossing the finish line in Central Park is one of the great thrills of a lifetime.

Thirty-six years after its start, the ING New York City Marathon continues to grow in size and to be the leader among marathons around the world. In 2005, 36,856 people crossed the finish line, making it the largest marathon of all time. Also in 2005, a record 87,625 people worldwide applied to run.
