Begun with only 127 runners in 1970, New York City Marathon is now one the most widely participated sport events, with over 93,000 runners in the 2006 event. This annual event took on a new meaning after the attack on 9/11, as a show of resilience, solidarity, and determination.
For this year’s marathon, taking place this Sunday, Nike created a set of special gears for runners as they brave the elements across 5 boroughs of NYC.
The NYC Distance Jacket features Nike’s Dri-FIT technology, with a mock-neck to keep out the cool Autumn air. Reflective patches on the front and back to keep the runner safe. Now available at NikeStore.com.
