How cool would it be the guy at the end that gets to hand out those medals and hugs…..

Embarrassing

I thought you had to qualify for this thing?

Why? Less than 1% of adults in America have ever finished a marathon. I just looked it up and it's estimated that less than 30% of adults could do that if they attempted it and were given a 6-7 hour time cap and 12-24 weeks of training. Not great but they're doing better than most. One dude in that vid looked disabled, too. Kind of weird to be shitting on people for finishing a marathon.

There is a qualifying time for most big city marathons but there is also lottery draws. You can also get in by volunteering or raising money for certain organizations.
I ran NYC in 2015. Last marathon I ever did. Worst time, hot, humid. I did pass a guy on 1st Ave. who shite all over himself like the Hyrox chick!

Unless you're like 80 6 hours tops, and that's being generous, should be the absolute Max of being able to say you "ran" a marathon

Unbelievable

The fact that these guys get a spot over an everyday runner who may be 30 mins over the qualifying cutoff is a joke
But it makes cool "inspirational" videos so I guess we all get warm and fuzzy

Yeah I guess this board loves participation trophies. We, as a people, used to have enough pride to not sign up for shite where we haven’t put in the requisite work to meet a minimum standard.
Not we celebrate people for doing shite they’re supposed to do and for being pathetic. Like I said, embarrassing…. But it makes all the other lazy pathetic people “feel good”

I agree.
There needs to be a cutoff.

My daughter ran in it this year. What a crazy day with so many people. Hell, I walked about six miles just following her. She didn't make her goal of under four hours, but she did it in 4:10. She said the last three miles in central park were brutal.
Can't believe that girl died running in it. What a sad story.
