Doug Paterson's New York Marathon
After the congestion cleared up the run turned into a thoroughly entertaining affair, the crowds were tremendous, incredibly vocal and supportive and there were live bands every half mile or so and ‘high fives’ all round

And they're off over the coals

Rob O'Brien's London Marathon 2003
Over the last few miles I was very tired and it was the crowd that kept me going, I think I kind of milked the applause a bit! They were shouting, "come on heart, come on tomato, or smiley face" and I loved it. Tim's photo on the front of my suit started to come off so I had to hold it on so I finished the marathon holding Tim's photo.
