The Marathon

A snake of runners winds its way through Central Park

Today was the New York Marathon, the 42km race that runs through all five boroughs, closes some major New York streets and brings about $350 million in "economic activity". That's a lot of activity...

The first of the pack but not the winner...
Almost there Geoffrey, almost there!
Way before the masses moved in on 5th Ave.
Gotta keep your energy up!
Whatever gets you through the race I guess...
The crowd went wild when this guy ran past!
Going uphill is a bitch but wheeee all the way down!
*Shiver, shiver, shiver*
Pretty good burgers at the Boathouse
Hold on tight!
At least he's honest...
Home stretch guys, come on!!!
Woohoo, almost there!!!
Amazing job everyone!

There were some pretty crazy characters running the race from a bride and groom  to Batman and Robin. But our favourite by far was Christoph Niemann, the Abstract Sunday columnist for the New York Times who ran, drew and tweeted the marathon. See the results here.
