Marathons: By the Numbers

I saw this infographic recently and had to share it…more information about the state of Marathoning in one handy reference than you thought you needed. And yes, I know that that isn’t a picture of Haile Gebreselassie…I didn’t make the image, I’m just sharing it:

2011 NYC Marathon Guaranteed Entry – How It Works

Entry into the 2011 New York City Marathon lottery process opened on January 10 this year, and the application period will remain open until April 19 of 2011. That seems a bit early to me given that the race is not until November 6, but those are the dates that they have put forth. If [...]
