Well that was a bit depressing! Sounds like the whole thing is up hill 😂 Need to run with the mantra “what goes up must come down!”

Excellent and informative video, this is what I was hoping NYRR would have done

Thank you for your time and effort doing this. Wish I had this 20 years ago when I was just going off a few web pages and a Runner's World map.

thanks for the detailed info about the course - will be my first NY marathon later this year and all these tips will help to mentally and physically get through the 42.2km!

Thanks for the excellent and timely course preview👍. Will be running NYC for the 1st time in a few weeks, and have been doing research on YouTube. There is a Google Earth video that shows the constant elevation changes throughout the course, which confirms your point about the lack of flat sections. Best of luck to everyone running the race this November!
