Dozens of runners are already on their way to the city in preparation for Sunday’s big race. event, and 50,000 people signed up for the first line. For runners and spectators alike, the NYC Marathon is a spectacle of rich history, struggles, and triumphs, and New Balance offers marathon merchandise to commemorate your experience in the Big Apple.
