Many people enjoy running.  But one kind of race, the marathon, has captured the imagination of people all over the world. Many Americans enjoy the experience of running a forty-two kilometer race. The biggest marathon in America is the New York City marathon. The runners pass famous landmarks in America’s most famous city.  It also is a major sporting event with at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) going to each winner. While the New York City marathon is the biggest, the Boston Marathon in Massachusetts is the oldest and equally famous.  The Boston Athletic Association started the race in 1897.  That is less than one year after the first Olympic marathon in Athens, Greece. Marathons are a natural extension of the fitness movement.  Many offer training programs, usually in cooperation with a local running club.  These programs help runners, who never thought they could run forty-two kilometers, prepare for the big race. A marathon is in many ways a social event.  There is also a sense of community.  Observers are as much a part of the race as the runners.  Almost every age group is present.  The youngest competitor to finish a marathon was fourteen years old.  The oldest was eighty-two.
