Poland Spring Marathon Kickoff (5M) Sunday, October 26 Central Park, New York 5M: 9:00 a.m
October 26 th morning in Central Park with the Poland Spring Marathon Kickoff, a five-mile race that concluded at the ING New York City Marathon’s famous finish line at Tavern on the Green. Nearly 8,000 runners took part, and while many used the race as a final tune-up for the ING New York City Marathon, plenty of non-marathoners also relished crossing the most celebrated road race finish line in the world. In cool, blustery conditions, Worku Beyi of the Westchester Track Club won the men’s race in 25:04 (narrowly defeating Jonathan Marcus of Portland, OR, who ran 25:05), and Leteyesus Berhe, also of WTC, took top honors on the women’s side in 30:03. Both Beyi and Berhe will be running the ING New York City Marathon.
