running in the ING New York City
Marathon 2008
The ING New York City Marathon continues to be the most important International marathon in the world - it will be barely seconds after you first arrive in Manhattan that you realise why: the place positively buzzes.
Taking in all five boroughs of NYC, it now attracts more than 90,000 runners from all over the globe - so you could pick-up a handy new business contact before you cross the finish line in Central Park.
There are so many reasons to take the challenge of this amazing marathon – the challenge and achievement of a lifetime, or maybe you’ve had a loved one affected by cancer. Whatever your motivation, by joining the Marie Curie Cancer Care New York Running Team, we guarantee you will have the experience of a lifetime.
