NYCRUNS INAUGURAL CENTRAL PARK MARATHON AND HALF-MARATHON

Inaugural this, inaugural that.  NYCRuns is on a roll, first with the Brooklyn Marathon in 2011, then yesterday (Sunday 24 February 2013) with the Inaugural Central Park Marathon and Half-Marathon.  I ran in the Brooklyn Marathon, but for the Central Park race I played a small role in supporting the runners.  Some photos of the volunteers at the Finishers Village and some special runners.  More photos can be found at

Bag check, just drop them bags here then pick them up after you cross the finish line, mere meters away and visible on the right in the background.

It was a beautiful day to run, but a cup of hot chocolate still hit the spot.

Amber poured another cup of hot chocolate as Laura looked on.

Flavia handed out a juicy and tempting apple.

Mike kept the park clean.

Tina kept the water flowing.

Bagels of many flavors were to be had, but blueberry was a favorite to many runners.

We aimed to collect every water cup, every Gu packet, anything discarded by the runners.

She was at the PPTC Cherry Tree 10-Miler, the NYRR Empire State Building Run-Up, and now at the NYCRuns Inaugural Central Park Marathon.

Last but not least, #311!
