The 2023 marathon season marked the full return to normalcy after limited pandemic years and an altered race schedule with Fall races rescheduled to the Spring and Spring races held in the Fall. With full fields, records were broken throughout 2023. And with 2023 being a lead up year to the Olympics, runners have more to compete for - the win and a place on their 2024 national Olympics squad. The New York City Marathon will stand as a cap to the year with some of the world's best competing.

Pre-Race Thoughts/Content

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!].

Men's Marathon Preview & Starter List Women's Marathon Preview & Starter List    Movies and Books In conjunction with the 2008 marathon, there was the publication of an extraordinary book and extraordinary video showing the New York City Marathon. Both were and remain excellent, so we'll reprise our writeups from the 2008 race here: Run For Your Life (DVD) Run For Your Life is the story of New York City Marathon founder Fred Lebow, the story of the New York City Marathon and the story of the running boom. It's compelling, interesting and humorous - and the editing is superb. MarathonGuide.com Review of Run For Your Life A Race Like No Other Now available in Paperback If you don't run the New York City Marathon and instead read Liz Robbins' book, you'll know more about the race, the people and the city than you could see in ten outings on the course (except for the feeling of hitting the wall, that can't be replicated in a book - ouch). Flawlessly written and crafted and very readable. Well done Liz. MarathonGuide.com Review of A Race Like No Other
