“I always say that the three most important marathons ever run were the 1896 inaugural Olympic marathon in Athens, Greece; the 1976 first 5-borough New York City Marathon, and that kicked off the urban marathon explosion; and then the third one was the 1998 inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in San Diego. That was the next huge game changer in the sport.”
