â€œGets closer to this marathon than an avenue railbird, and it leaves impressions not fleeting, but lasting.â€
â€”Sports Illustrated

The New York City Marathon is considered one of the nationâ€™sâ€”and the world'sâ€”premier sporting events. AÂ reporterÂ for the New York Times, Liz Robbins brings the color, the history, the electricity of this remarkable annual competitionÂ alive in A Race Like No Other. Centering her narrative around the fabled 2007 running, Robbins captures all the intensity of the grand event, following the runnersâ€”both professional and amateurâ€”along 26.2 grueling miles through the streets of New York, from the starting line at the Verrazano Narrows Bridge to the finish line in Central Park, and offering fascinating portraits of marathon legends like theÂ race's charismatic founder, the late Fred Lebow, and nine-time champion Grete Waitz. The Wall Street Journal raves: â€œRobbins nails the race, painting a broad, impressionistic portrait of what I consider New Yorkâ€™s greatest day.â€ No other book captures the excitement of the New YorkÂ City Marathon like A Race Like No Other.
