The official last finisher of the 2023 NYC Marathon
last year past 8 p.m., after most runners and spectators had long since left Central Park, he earned an unusual honor.
“I’m going to be starting at 9:10, 10 minutes after the elite runners, with three-hour marathoners next to me,” Kaufman said. “I’ll be all the way on the right side of the road, walking with my cape and 50,000 people will run past me shouting, ‘On your left.'”I was paralyzed a decade ago while suffering from rare disease — here’s how I run the NYC Marathonfor the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and a necklace of colorful feet that celebrates his pal’s recovery after a stem cell transplant.
Kaufman typically trains by walking 5 miles every other day. He walks instead of runs to reduce the chance he’ll get injured. Usually by the time he hits First Avenue in the Bronx, toward the end of the race, it’s a “zombie walk.”
