It is a great event here in Tokyo as well, every year.

The city embraces its annual New York City Marathon as a celebration of runners from around the world.

It was truly awesome to see Meb Keflizighi coming home with his USA singlet as he crossed the tape to win. It was the first US win since 1982! The US men's team did extraordinarily well this year.
