 Two
million spectators line the route - Staten Island into Brooklyn, down 92nd
Street, 4th Avenue and Lafayette Avenue and into Queens.
Over the Queensboro Bridge on to the island of Manhattan, around the Museum of
Modern Art, down 57th Street and 1st Avenue before heading into the Bronx
and past the Yankee Stadium. Then it's back into Manhattan to run
the whole of the East side of Central Park then the finish.
Although CRY does not buy any charity
places for the New York Marathon, several CRY supporters have entered
this event after securing a place via their own endeavours. There
are a number of companies who organise 'running tours' which include a
guaranteed NY Marathon place and accommodation. Please search the
web for more details.
The closing date for securing a place in
the New York Marathon is usually in early May.
 "...the
crowds were tremendous, incredibly vocal and supportive and there were
live bands every half mile or so and ‘high fives’ all round." (more)
