By far the best race I've ever run. The hills made the whole experience so painful and the crowds made the whole experience so worth it there is nothing I could suggest NYC marathon improve. The expo was really good compared to Chicago's 2016 and the atmosphere at the finish line

Easy to get there, easy to manage. Great crowds but also plenty of quiet stretches. Great medals. Great array of food at the finish including coffee cups of chicken broth, much appreciated on a cold, windy day. I could come to Philly and do this race every year.

I loved this race. Beautiful course and friendly people made me feel comfortable on my first 5k! it goes through a suburban neighborhood on wide flat streets and you get cheered on as you go.
