The New York City Marathon began on September 13, 1970, with 127 runners paying $1 each to run loops around Central Park, a far cry from today's 50,000.
The marathon transformed in 1976 to cover all five boroughs, evolving into a citywide celebration of human endurance, drawing runners and spectators from around the globe.
With two million spectators and a diverse array of runners from nearly 150 countries, the NYC Marathon truly embodies the grit, heart, and ambition of the city.
This Sunday, a river of 50,000 runners will flow through New York City, showcasing a spectacle that celebrates diversity, determination, and the spirit of NYC.
