Concise NYC Marathon 2024 Guide

NEW 2023 EDITION! Updated and revised!

The New York Marathon is much more than a never-ending run - it's an extreme race, a city festival, and a global phenomenon. With over 50,000 participants, it involves millions of people, including thousands of volunteers, hundreds of thousands of supporters lining the streets, and a global TV audience.

The Never-Ending Run aims to provide a 360° explanation and tell the story of one of the world's most famous marathons, starting with a mile-by-mile description of the race, including first-hand experiences. It then offers a guide to New York specially dedicated to runners, with information on their shopping and tourism needs, as well as interesting facts and statistics.

The book recounts the history of the New York City Marathon, provides intriguing insights, and explains how to participate and prepare for the race, all while offering tips and suggestions for enjoying life and your break in the Big Apple.

Part one, "The Race," illustrates the history and route of the most famous race in the world, including race strategies by coach Fulvio Massini and accounts from other famous athletes, such as Peter Ciaccia, Orlando Pizzolato, Franca Fiacconi, George Hirsch, German Silva, and Alex Zanardi.

Part two, "New York," is dedicated to the needs of the runner in town for the race, covering how to get around, where to go shopping for running gear, advice on what to do and not do in the days leading up to the race, and the best places for spectators to watch the race.

Part three, "Run and the City," is devoted to running in New York and can also be used by runners who aren't taking part in the marathon. It provides information on the best places to train in Central Park and local races to participate in.

The second edition of the book includes a table of contents and covers a wide range of topics, from the history of the NYC Marathon to the experiences of famous athletes, the logistics of participating in the race, and the broader running culture in New York City.
