The New York City Marathon is one of the richest races in the world and has a commitment to putting on a newsworthy and exciting race. The 2014 edition will be continue that tradition – bringing together many of the best marathon runners in the world. What makes New York different than many of the other of the world’s best is that New York (like Boston) does not employ pacers to help ensure the runners run their fastest times. Instead, it is a pure race and the main focus of the elite runners is their finish position and not the specific time that they can achieve. Of course, race organizers like to see fast times and to help with that New York provides time bonuses and many of the elite athletes have private deals with the race to encourage them to run as fast as their ability. But, with a race that doesn’t run the marathoners at full speed from the start and with some hills, anything can and has happened in the New York City Marathon

Here – for the elite race – you’ll find full writeups on all aspects of the elite races, starter lists, past competitor lists and much more. You’ll also find schedules, course information and history that are of interest to those who just want to learn more about the event.

If you’re running or watching a friend/family member who is running, you’ll definitely want to view and print out the pace guide which will help you know when you or your friend will arrive at the different points on the course – mandatory information [works best if you plug in your friend’s race number!].

With so many athletes returning each year, past races often provide insights into the current year’s events and personalities. At what mile do the runners typically make their moves? Which runners have been successful with an early breakaway and which have failed? The answers to these and many other questions can be found in the past years’ races.
