The NYC Marathon crosses the Pulaski and winds its way through the streets of Hunters Point in Long Island City to the Queensboro Bridge and Manhattan. LIC is the 15 mile spot - a nowhere's land in the middle of race where some friendly yelling is a real pick-up-my-legs-and-get-this-done for the runners. The route goes up Vernon Boulevard, past Gantry Park, and over on 44th Rd to 44th Dr to Crescent St/Queensboro Bridge. Spectators line Vernon cheering on the crowd and ducking into local bars for ahhh-ahhh cold beverages.
