Description

Want to know about the journey of running the iconic New York City Marathon? Join Coach Shelby and Coach Christine as they take you through its rich history, from its humble beginnings with 127 competitors in 1970 to its transformation into a five-borough race in 1976. We'll talk about Grete Waitz, who set the world on fire by clocking the first sub-230 women's marathon. We'll also guide you through crucial decisions to make for a successful race day, covering things like transportation, baggage check, and expo time. Get a sense of the marathon day experience as we recount our own adventures, from the thrill of taking a ferry to the start line to the electric atmosphere of running with the elites and even spotting celebrities! Imagine the breeze on the Verrazano Bridge, the lively entertainment on Fourth Avenue, and the memorable aspects on the Queensborough Bridge. Continuing to celebrate our Anniversary, we have some fantastic goodies for our Time for Brunch supporters. So whether you're preparing for a marathon or just looking to relax with an engaging discussion, you wouldn't want to miss this one.
