NYC being a world major and one of the biggest marathons of them all, there is definitely a big expectation for it. The year of 2022 NYC marathon, it happened to be quite hot and it was definitely rough overall in terms of how we all felt, but the marathon is definitely one of kind with respect to the crowd! They are literally the reason why it is one of my fav marathon of all times! I do advise people to truly enjoy this marathon! If you are going to be racing it, please do your research on the elevation profiles (as it is one of the tougher courses) and it will be difficult if you go into it not prepared for the hills on the course!

Highly recommend for anyone looking to have lots of fun! I would add this as a bucket list marathon for someone planning on doing only one in their lifetime :P
