A Race Like No Other: 26.2 Miles Through the Streets of New York Paperback - 2009
by Liz Robbins
In a mile-by-mile account of the most popular marathon in the world, "New York Times" sportswriter Robbins captures the enormity of the New York City event by interweaving the stories of a handful of participants both professional and amateur.
From the rear cover
The New York City Marathon: 26.2 grueling miles across five bridges and through five distinct boroughs, accompanied by the cheers of two million fans and propelled by the unique motivation that churns inside every participant.
New York Times reporter Liz Robbins brings the famed New York City Marathon to life, capturing the day's festivities mile by mile. She tells the stories of the determined competitors--from their friendships and rivalries to their adversity and redemption--through the prism of the unforgettable 2007 race. Infused with rich history of the event's legends and its colorful neighborhood characters, A Race Like No Other provides a curbside seat to the first Sunday in November, breathlessly carrying the reader from the start on the towering Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the triumphant finish line in Central Park.
