     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.

    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.

     What Others Are Writing...
    We wish we had a bigger staff. We wish we could write all of the articles we'd like to write (and there are a lot of them). Fortunately, others are writing about the New York City Marathon - present and past. Here are links to Press Releases and News Articles - not written by us, but at least we've found these for you...

     Past Years...
    MarathonGuide.com launched in March 2000 and each year since 2001 we've been at the New York City Marathon covering the event. 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.
