Yonkers Marathon - 2008 - Sunday, Sept. 21st

"The Yonkers Marathon is the 2nd oldest marathon in the USA. It has history, pedigree and grit. I highly recommend it. A challenging course - maybe not for first-timers - but, I promise you, you will have a significant sense of accomplishment once across the finish line. I would absolutely run this marathon again, and believe many more marathoners will run this marathon in years to come as they seek out a classic marathon. It's very well organized, and very well supported, with history and pedigree. The officers go out of their way to block all traffic for the marathoners, which is of great assistance as you run the streets. Get to Yonkers and run the marathon - it is a test that you will be highly gratified you finished. "
