On a cool autumn morning, 38,377 marathoners started their day in Fort Wadsworth, preparing to embark on a 26.2-mile journey through the streets of New York. Many racers met their goals and fulfilled their dreams at the 39th running of the marathon.
Due to the three wave starts, runners enjoyed more space in the start villages and less crowding on the course.	Runners rested on the ground at Fort Wadsworth before the race. Although it was windy at the start, sunny skies and made it a great day to race.	Marathoners were able to move more freely due to the wave starts and multiple corrals.
The open field was made up of a diverse group of international entrants, locals, and charity runners.	The two-mile trek on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge helped the runners prepare to tackle four other bridges on the course.	The theme of the Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge was working marathon moms. Queens runner Susan Moore proved she had what it took to win.
The eight-mile mark at the Brooklyn Academy of Music was one of the most popular spots for spectators.	The Team for Kids cheering zone at mile 8 was packed with energetic spectators, who were glad to support a team that raises funds for running programs that teach children about fitness.

Runners turned off of the Queensboro Bridge and descended upon First Avenue --the rowdiest portion of the race.	Fred's Team, a group that raises funds in support of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, had lively orange cheer zones to motivate the runners.	Marathoners forged past the Wall and into the Harlem Miles, where entertainment was increased this year to get runners through the challenging patches.
Many runners ran to support city agencies and charity teams.	Harlem was a hot spot this year, featuring performance stages and live entertainment.	Many familiar faces supported the race by helping out and cheering in Harlem.
