Manolo MoralesPANELIST
I walk a lot.
Manolo MoralesPANELIST
And I often walk at the Queensborough Bridge, which is... connects Queens to Manhattan.
Manolo MoralesPANELIST
So I would often see the tramway pass by as I was getting near Manhattan.
Manolo MoralesPANELIST
And this tramway connects Roosevelt Island and Manhattan, and you get a really beautiful and spectacular view of the East River.
Carrie TollefsonHOST
Or were you thinking I've got this?
Marcel HugGUEST
Honestly, until the Verrazano Bridge, no, the Queensborough Bridge.
Marcel HugGUEST
I was pretty confident and calm, but afterwards, yeah, I was a little bit more nervous and was more trying to attack again and again, but I was not able to break away from Daniel.
Marcel HugGUEST
And then when we came into the park, it was clear for me that it will be a finish sprint.
Amy RobachHOST
Sunday if you are not running because everyone's trying to see or catch their runner somewhere.
Amy RobachHOST
So we ended up doing Fort Greene in Brooklyn at mile eight and then we had a plan, we ran over to mile 16 right after the Queensborough Bridge.
Amy RobachHOST
And that's when you stopped talking to me.
Amy RobachHOST
I was texting you saying we're gonna be on the left.

Rich RobertsHOST
It basically rerouted it so they wouldn't disrupt.
Rich RobertsHOST
Among the most notorious different moments for runners in the Queensborough Bridge at mile 15 and the so-called Fifth Avenue Grind at mile 24, celebrity runners included.
Rich RobertsHOST
Oh, I don't care about the celebrity runners.
Rich RobertsHOST
The freaking regular runners are running it.
Bob HardenHOST
The 26.2-mile race changed course for the first time since 2011 this year, with runners seeing two fewer turns in the Bronx to accommodate local access to supermarket laundromats.
Bob HardenHOST
Among the most notoriously difficult moments for runners are the Queensborough Bridge at one point.
Bob HardenHOST
at mile 15 and the so-called Fifth Avenue Grind at mile 24.
Bob HardenHOST
The first New York City marathon in 1970 involved several rounds of Manhattan Central Park, with the race expanding to involve all five boroughs in 1976.

Cam LukeGUEST
It's a beautiful day here.
Cam LukeGUEST
But I got to about, once out of Brooklyn, Queensborough Bridge, for people who know New York and people who have been lucky enough to run it, it's tough.
Cam LukeGUEST
but i found the rhythm on the bridge uh and so getting probably through halfway was a big mental big mental win for me and then the queensborough bridge people start to walk a little bit and i sort of just went up the inside and i put my airpods in for the first time and really the only time you got the crowd here so i don't need them uh and i knew that when i come out of the bridge and dropped into manhattan there was only a couple of kilometers until i saw my partner and my little girl.
Cam LukeGUEST
So it sort of got me going and I got into a bit of a rhythm, but it's not meant to be easy.
Cam LukeGUEST
I would have liked it to be a little easier for a little longer.
Jake NovakHOST
It starts at Fort Wadsworth, which is the Staten Island side of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, and then it crosses there.
Jake NovakHOST
Some of the other bridges you probably want to avoid today, the 59th Street Bridge, some people call it the Queensborough Bridge, the Ed Koch Bridge, whatever.
Jake NovakHOST
The 59th Street Bridge, that's a big part of the race.
Jake NovakHOST
Not all of it is closed, but honestly...
Jake NovakHOST
I'm just giving you a little bit of an insider tip.
34 MINS LATER
Jake NovakHOST
The first wave, the first runners, will get going over the Verrazano Narrows Bridge at 9, 10 a.m., and different waves will begin between 9, 10, and 11 a.m. when the last wave starts the race.
Jake NovakHOST
For a lot of the day, this means that a lot of the bridges and a lot of the roads in all five boroughs, but especially Brooklyn and especially parts of Manhattan, will be closed or close to the usual vehicular traffic.
Jake NovakHOST
That includes the 59th Street Bridge and the Edward Koch and the Queensborough Bridge, the Edward Koch, whatever you want to call it.
