The New York City Marathon was this past week. I'm curious about the history of the event, and what it's like?

New York City Marathon was the first-ever marathon, run on October 25th, 1897. It was run by Fred Lebow, who had previously conceived of the idea of the “marathon” while watching the Greek runner Spyros Louis. It was originally called the American Marathon because it was an American concept.
