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 2015 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!].

Elite Athletes Past Performances
These men and women have met before at the marathon in various places. This page shows those races where two or more of the registered athletes have competed against each other. It's sometimes about the prior times these athletes have achieved, but it's also about how well they do head-to-head in the same race, in the same atmosphere.

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.
