In my first New York City Marathon in 1978 I brought an 8mm film camera. I recently digitized these. Here is the video that is the result after digitizing the 8mm films. It includes a meeting with Grete Waitz before the start. That time unknown in the USA. But she won the race, and won it 8 more times!
Take a look at this unique video:
Here is a video from my 2022 New York City Marathon weekend. I have put together pictures and also some short video clips. It shows that New York City Marathon is much more than only a road race!:
I have also made 3 videos of the course. The newest is added November 20, 2020. It's a new video where I "fly"the course. With the newest 3D galley from Google. It gives a realistic view of the course and contains 3D-buildings. Then it's a short video that gives a good overview of the course. And last a video based on Google Street View. It shows the course from street level. In the videos I have added real New York music and running altitude information. Check that sound is turned on and that you select HD quality and Full Screen.
I have also made a version where I have used Google Street View. Here I have downloaded all the Street View pictures from Google Maps and put them together. It gives a very realistic video seen from street level. For Verrazano Narrows Bridge Street View pictures does not exist. Here I have inserted footage from my other video(see above).
Please give me feedback. You can also ask questions about the New York City Marathon. I have some experience after finishing 42 times!
Here is an animated video I just created. It shows a dialogue between a Marathoner and a non-runner. You can change the quality to HD and watch it full-screen (at the bottom of the video window):
