Ranking and Reviewing the Boroughs During the New York City Marathon

"On Sunday, November 3rd, I ran my very first marathon! I’m so lucky to have been able to do it in New York City…It was a beautiful day with perfect running weather, being 57 degrees and sunny, and was also the world's largest marathon to date with 55,646 runners who finished."

"5. Staten Island In last place (not surprisingly) is Staten Island. The marathon starts in Staten Island, and you do not really run there at all. It starts right at the ramp of the Verrazano Bridge, so you have to trek all the way down to Staten Island just to leave immediately."

"Although the ferry ride there was nice and I see why they have it as the starting point in order to hit all five boroughs. When the cannon for the start went off, Frank Sinatra's 'Theme From New York, New York' started to play while everyone cheered. It was probably one of my favorite moments."
