More Marathon

Pre-Race Review/ Lineup

Jill Van Note, age 42, hopes to be in Sunday's marathon until the homestretch.

YOU'VE come a long way, baby - and you can run even farther. That's the thinking behind the More Marathon in Central Park on Sunday, the first 26.2-mile race exclusively for women 40 and older.  "I actually feel stronger than I did five years ago," says 42-year-old Jill Van Note, who juggles her training for marathons - this is her third - between acting and day jobs.

New MORE Marathon Race a Real Feat

On the Saturday before Christmas, coach Anthony Sgherza stood in Forest Park and beheld his new team, six women from Queens and western Nassau County ranging in age from 38 to 49.  The women had asked Sgherza, a professor of exercise science at Brooklyn College and an accomplished endurance athlete, to advise them in their preparations to run the More Marathon/Half Marathon in Central Park this Sunday.
