There are big marathons, and there is New York City marathon. The New York City Marathon is an annual marathon, held on the first Sunday in November. The 26.2-mile (42 km) race begins on the Staten Island side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. The course winds through Brooklyn and Queens and across the Queensborough Bridge into Manhattan and the 16-mile mark. From there, runners head north along First Avenue across the Willis Avenue Bridge for a short trip through the Bronx, across the Madison Avenue Bridge back into Manhattan, and along Fifth Avenue into Central Park. For the last 3 1/2 miles, the course goes through Central Park, finishing at the Tavern on the Green. In 2003, a record 34,729 people participated in the race.
