TCS New York City Marathon Course Experience | 50 Years of 5 Boros | Episode 6

Coach Ben takes us to Central Park and the iconic finish line of the TCS New York City Marathon in this final episode of our series celebrating 50 years of the 5-boro marathon course. He’s joined by marathon legend Dave Obelkevich, who has crossed every New York City Marathon finish line since 1976, to discuss how the race has evolved over the past five decades. From the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to Central Park, this series has explored the history, communities, and stories that make the TCS New York City Marathon unlike any other race in the world. NYRR coaches Gemma, Steve, and Marc offer practical advice for navigating what they call “mile 27,” covering everything from post-race recovery to celebrating with family and friends. Plus, NYRR CEO Rob Simmelkjaer reflects on how the marathon transformed his life and why Marathon Sunday remains the best day of the year in New York City.
