While Daniel is organizing a marathon walk, he finds an article about the New York City Marathon in a magazine. He is reading it with great interest. Read it with him.
New York City MarathonThe first New York City Marathon was held on 13th September 1970 in New York. Fred Lebow organized it with only US$1,000. It was a very small event in the city at that time. The race only took place in Central Park. 127 runners joined the marathon and 55 of them finished the course.
More and more people took part in the marathon. Finally, in 1976, the course was changed. Instead of running in Central Park, the participants had to run in the whole city. The winner that year was Bill Rodgers. He finished the course in 2 hours 10 minutes and set the world record.
In 1978, more than 9,000 runners joined the marathon. The New York City Marathon then became the world's largest marathon. People from all over the world came to join the race.
In 1979, prize money was given to the winners for the first time.
In 1984, Mercedes-Benz sponsored the race and both the male and
female winners got a car each from the company.
The 1990 race was for Mr Lebow. He was suffering from brain cancer at that time. In 1992, Mr Lebow ran in the marathon for the first time to celebrate his 60th birthday. He died of brain cancer two years later in 1994.
The New York City Marathon is a challenge to all runners in the world. Some people run for fund-raising. Some families run together. Some companies send their workers to run the marathon to promote team spirit. It might be a tough course but all participants try their best. That is the true spirit of sports.
