Broadcasts — 2009 New York City Marathon Television and Internet Coverage

The 2009 ING New York City Marathon is coming up Sunday morning November 1st, 2009. This should be one of the most exciting races of the year to watch, with Paula Radcliffe, Ryan Hall, and many others featured in the world’s largest marathon. If you’ve never watched the New York City Marathon, sit yourself down with some popcorn and get ready for some excitement. I find that the images from the start of the race are particularly inspiring as those 42,000 runners take off over the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.

Here is all of the information that you’ll need to watch the race, depending upon where you live and how you want to watch the race.
