The world’s largest marathon has come a long way since its inaugural 1970 race with just 127 runners, when the winners took home wristwatches and recycled trophies.
The 2023 TCS New York City Marathon is expected to draw more than 50,000 runners from around the world taking a 26.2-mile lap across NYC’s five boroughs on Sunday, Nov. 5.
Now more than 50 years later, the 2023 race features tens of thousands of runners from more than 100 countries, with $894,000 in prize money and time bonuses up for grabs. There are also often time bonuses for runners who break course records; last year’s wheelchair champions Marcel Hug and Susannah Scaroni each snagged an extra $50,000 for breaking course records, for example.
