New York Marathon

As the inspiration for the London Marathon and a backdrop that is instantly recognisable the New York Marathon is a once in a lifetime experience and the perfect way to challenge your mind and body to cover the famous 26 miles. The New York Marathon course is unique and will see you pass through all five boroughs; Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and finally Manhattan!

The New York Marathon has an incredible atmosphere with over 39,000 fellow runners and 2 million supporters on the side of the road encouraging you all the way to the finish line in Central Park you won’t struggle for motivation and support.

Team Loughborough will be at the New York Marathon 2010 in force, not only enjoying and relishing the challenge of the marathon, but soaking up the incredible weekend atmosphere. As a runner you’ll be able to enjoy the International Friends Run, Fireworks in the Park and the giant pasta party where all your fellow runners will be ‘carb loading’.

Of course aside from the marathon you will have as long as 10 days in New York to visit the world renowned sights, whether it is the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building or the Sex in the City tour there is something for everyone in the city that never sleeps.

Your guaranteed place in the marathon comes with return flights from the UK to New York making this challenge more affordable than you might think!
