This page shows those races where two or more of the registered athletes have competed against eatch other. It's sometimes about the prior times these athletes have achieved, but it's also about how well they do head-to-head in the same race, in the same atmosphere.

Through the following links, you'll find bios of ALL of the top runners, highlighting their past performances and current capabilities: Men's Bios Women's Bios    Movies and Books In conjunction with the 2008 marathon, there was the publication of an extraordinary book and extraordinary video showing the New York City Marathon. Both were and remain excellent, so we'll reprise our writeups from the 2008 race here: Run For Your Life (DVD) Run For Your Life is the story of New York City Marathon founder Fred Lebow, the story of the New York City Marathon and the story of the running boom. It's compelling, interesting and humorous - and the editing is superb. MarathonGuide.com Review of Run For Your Life A Race Like No Other Now available in Paperback If you don't run the New York City Marathon and instead read Liz Robbins' book, you'll know more about the race, the people and the city than you could see in ten outings on the course (except for the feeling of hitting the wall, that can't be replicated in a book - ouch). Flawlessly written and crafted and very readable. Well done Liz. MarathonGuide.com Review of A Race Like No Other
