As a seasoned marathon runner myself, I can’t help but feel a thrill when it comes to events that celebrate the spirit of running and camaraderie among fellow athletes. Let me walk you through some of the post-marathon events that are happening in the city this year.
Instead of resting prior to the marathon, some individuals are excited to explore all that the city has to offer. On November 3rd (Sunday), around 50,000 runners will participate in the New York City Marathon, and there’s a plethora of events lined up for them – pop-ups, shakeouts, after-parties, panels, live podcast recordings, and even post-race photo sessions.
To make it easier for you to stay updated, here’s a roundup of some exciting events happening this week before the marathon, complete with RSVP/additional information links where available.
