The New York City Marathon
The New York City Marathon (ING New York City Marathon for sponsorship reasons) is a major annual marathon (42.195 km (26.219 mi)) whose course runs through all five boroughs of New York City. It is one of the largest marathons in the world, with 37,850 finishers in 2006.[1] Along with the Boston Marathon and Chicago Marathon, it is among the pre-eminent long-distance annual running events in the United States and is one of the World Marathon Majors.
In 2008, the race initiated a corral system. After the elite women started, the balance of the runners began in three staggered starts to reduce congestion. The official times are those recorded by a computer chip worn on the shoe, which calculates when a runner crosses the start and when she crosses the finish, known as "net," as opposed to "gun," time. Runners also pass timing mats along the course and email notifications can be received by people following runners during the race to see how the runners are doing.
