For Marathoners who want to stay off of their feet for a few hours on Saturday and locals who want to learn more about the history of the New York City Marathon, Run for Your Life, a documentary about Fred Lebow, founder of the Marathon, will be on PBS Channel 13 in NYC on Saturday and Sunday.
I saw this documentary when it premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival a couple of years ago. I have volunteered, run, and/or worked on the Marathon from 1981 until a couple of years ago. It was great to learn more about the early days.
If you miss the PBS broadcasts, you can buy or rent the DVD here.
Have a great Marathon Sunday!
