Great Photos Of The NYC Marathon In Queens
Continued / November 5, 2011 / Long Island City / NYC Marathon in Queens / Queens Buzz. Their hearts were pounding hard, the sweat was dripping down, their lungs were huffing and puffing as they chugged along one by one. Muscles taut, arms moving to and fro, as these intrepid runners tested their own endurance. Men and women alike, generally dressed in T-shirts ran alongside one another. The old and the young. The rich and the poor? Who knows. And people in wheel chairs and handcycles - all straining to complete the 26 mile course. All tolled over 43,000 participants out on a beautiful November day. The photo to your left is of the NYC Marathon runners arriving from Brooklyn over the Pulaski Bridge into Queens.
