Over the past 50 years, the New York City Marathon has grown from a local road race held entirely in Central Park to the world’s largest marathon.

1970s

The first New York City Marathon, organized by New York Road Runners, takes place September 13, 1970, in Central Park, with an entry fee of $1 and a budget of $1,000. Of the 127 registered runners, there are 55 finishers.
The 1975 New York City Marathon gains attention as the U.S. women’s championship. With 339 finishers, the race is seen to be outgrowing Central Park.
To celebrate the United States bicentennial, the 1976 New York City Marathon takes place through the five boroughs of NYC, with 2,090 entrants and 1,549 finishers. The race garners international headlines, with winners Bill Rodgers and Miki Gorman shattering the event records. Rodgers will win four consecutive times (1976–79).
Running her first marathon, Norwegian Olympic track star Grete Waitz sets a world record of 2:32:30 at the 1978 New York City Marathon. She smashes her own record the following year with a 2:27:33, the first sub-2:30 women’s marathon.
