How did the New York City Marathon become one of the greatest races on earth? Mary Wittenberg, former CEO of New York Road Runners, was there for it. 🎧
Just after the 50th TCS New York City Marathon, Paula and Thommo are joined by Mary for a trip through five decades of the race. She takes us from the creation of the World Marathon Majors to the moments that brought the running community together after 9/11, and revisits Paula’s emotional comeback at the 2004 race.
In this episode:
- The growth of American distance running
- What makes New York such a unique and tough course
- Our picks for the men’s and women’s titles, recorded before race day. Did we get it right?
