7 november is het weer zover; Marathondag in New York!
Om alvast in de stemming te komen deze film over de geschiedenis van de NY marathon:

Run for Your Life (2008); the Fred Lebow Story

Welcome to the story of Fred Lebow and the New York City Marathon.

"Run For Your Life" is an historical gem, chronicling the evolution of Lebow from runner and race director to maestro of the whirlwind the five-borough marathon has become. 

Through archival footage and stills of the early days when the marathon was run in loops within Central Park, featuring such legends as Ted Corbitt, to the classic citywide battles of Frank Shorter and Bill Rodgers, Grete Waitz and Joan Benoit Samuelson, the energy, excitement and stunning spectacle of the race comes alive.
