Sarah Franklin is a writer and researcher working with Gary Corbitt to document and preserve running history.
The New York City Marathon is a marquee international running event that doubles as one of the few positive occurrences capable of uniting the ever-bustling city. The race’s humble origin as four laps of Central Park in 1970 belied its potential as a running tour of the city’s five boroughs—a route that debuted in 1976 to coincide with America’s bicentennial.
“More than any other single factor, Ted Corbitt’s 30-page report detailing the various systems of course calibration established the marathon as a modern sport,” Chenkin wrote for the NYRR website. With Corbitt spearheading both the conception and design of the NYC Marathon’s inaugural five-borough route in 1976, race organizers could confront the course’s myriad other logistical quandaries with the underlying certainty that it would measure exactly 26.2 miles.
