High above the NYC marathon. And they’re off!
The route for the 2018 New York City Marathon starts right here on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, crossing from Staten Island into Brooklyn, and eveantually coursing through all five well-known boroughs of New York. This photo – taken by a camera drone – shows just how many people will be running in today’s race. Because it starts early on a typically cold November morning (at least in that part of the globe), many runners show up in layered clothing. But once they heat up from running, those layers come off and are often discarded on sidewalks. Race organisers collect items left behind and work with charities to donate the active wear.
