Before more than 50,000 runners cross the iconic finish line of the TCS NYC Marathon, young runners from across all five boroughs had the chance to test their speed alongside some legends.
The course for the TCS Run With Champions was in Central Park on Thursday, exactly where marathon runners will cross the finish line on Sunday.
Keflezighi was 13 when he started running and ran his first mile in 5 minutes and 20 seconds, but he says running isn't always about the competition "When I started through a youth program, I learned how to dream for the first time, so for a lot of these kids, it gives an outlet and inspiration and giving them that confidence to be able to say I can be whatever I want to be," McFadden said.
Marathon Day in New York is coming up November 6th! The TCS New York City Marathon will be broadcast to more than 530 million homes around the world, with a Spanish language broadcast being produced nationwide for the first time by ESPN. Joining the talent team for this year's domestic broadcast will be five-time TCS New York City Marathon champion and 13-time Paralympic medalist Kurt Fearnley and running reporter Chris Chavez. Fearnley will be in the broadcast booth as a race analyst for all four professional divisions, and Chavez will make his broadcast debut on the men's moto.
