ING New York City Marathon

Date: November 6, 2011

United States of America

From nycmarathon.org:

The premier event of New York Road Runners, the ING New York City Marathon is one of the world's great road races, drawing more than 100,000 applicants annually.

The race attracts many world-class professional athletes, not only for the more than $600,000 in prize money, but also for the chance to excel in the media capital of the world before two million cheering spectators and 315 million worldwide television viewers. As any one of the more than 700,000 past participants will attest, crossing the finish line in Central Park is one of the great thrills of a lifetime.

Our very own Lauren Fleshman will be debuting in the marathon at the 2011 NYC Marathon. Follow her on twitter @laurenfleshman as she prepares and be sure to cheer her on by watching the race!

Good luck, Lauren!

You can watch the race on TV or live on the web. For more information, click HERE.
