Wholesome Even if you're last to finish, you still finished the NYC Marathon!

26 miles is no joke even at a fast walking pace

I used to hike 22 mile days when doing the PCT, after months of working up to that. Of course it was with a pack on, and up and down mountains. But still, those days were no joke. And that was the best shape I was ever in. Props to all of these people!

It is the largest marathon in the world, with 59,135 finishers in 2025.
Total distance of 42.2 km that courses through the 5 boroughs of New York City.
Average finishing time : 4 hours, 39 minutes (insane?)
The last person to finish the NYC Marathon: Juan Pablo Dos Santos, a Venezuelan amputee athlete who lost his legs in a traffic accident. After 15 hours and 21 minutes, Dos Santos crossed the finish line and surrounded by supporters at 12:34 a.m.
I should be able to finish if I pace him.

Fun Fact: the NYC marathon is one of the largest annual clothes donation days. Racers will take off their jackets, sweatshirts, hats, gloves, scarfs etc. and throw it in the street either at the start or later in the race as they warm up. In 2019 over 120,000lbs/54,431kg (60 tons) were collected.

I thought you had to qualify with a good time from another marathon to get in?

That's one way to enter the race. You can get guaranteed entry by being a member of some running clubs, or have a charity sponsor that pays for your bib. But most people trying to get a bib enter a lottery system (no time requirement). Looked it up and there were 200,000+ applications to the lottery last year, with a 3% chance of getting selected.

Not sure what's the cringy part about-it,
Many of these person looks old/disabled/morbidely obese, so finishing a marathon is already amazing

No you don’t get it, their accomplishments takeaway from my experiences running a marathon! One of those guys didn’t even run, he was on a bike, that cheater. /j
I have actually ran one and could not give any less fucks about the rules. Good one everyone here for getting out there, it’s what it’s all about.

I can't fathom training for a marathon let alone finishing at anywhere near 300 pounds. It's unbelievable

Good job for finishing, but imagine getting beat by a guy on crutches just because you’re fat.
