New York is a nice city to run. The marathon itself is difficult because it is very hilly but the crowd along the route is amazing. The view over manhattan at the start line is fabulous. The logistic is however horrible. The marathon starts on staten island and people have to wait hours in the cold for the race to begin. The entry fee is very high

I have done 3 full marathons and this is the best!!! Great crowd all the route, energy you wont fell the wall. Try to go with a couple of friends and you will have the best time waiting your wave, you can do a mini picnic or some yoga, like I did. two thumbs up!

Amazing marathon. This is my best race. Everything was perfect. Very well organized. Cheerful crowds. The route is a little bit hard but the atmosphere is fantastic.

I mean no disrespect by giving this race 3 stars. This is obviously a famous event and if you get the chance, take it. It is (I am pretty sure) the biggest race in the world, so it's crowded non stop from start to finish. This means great atmosphere (deafening at times), but not the best for a PB due to the crush. I found the course difficult (the endless gentle incline of 1st Avenue destroyed me), and it was extremely cold at the start. It's spectacular to finish at Central Park and it's very well managed. I just found it a very difficult race to run.

Well it covers the 5 boroughs though some of them only briefly. Brooklyn and Manhattan have deafening crowds and great atmosphere. Queens not so much. If you happen to run on the lower deck of the Verazzano (sp?) bridge, the 'rain' falling down is not rain, so do not get it on you (ala don't eat the yellow snow).

Great marathon. Damn hard to register and be lucky but so worth it... The marathon doesn't run through Manhattan so sightseeing is limited but the entire experience is just fantastic. I will be back after I have saved enough money to run it again...
