New York Marathon

New York, is considered the mother of all modern day marathons as by far its the most popular with over 100,000 applications and sporting a field of only 30,000. New York, together with Berlin, Boston, Chicago and London are the 5 Grand Slams of Marathons. Almost all Marathon records have been broken in the Berlin marathon as it is the flatest and least hilly, while its a toss-up between New York and Boston for the hardest (hilliest).
