    The New York City Marathon

    This Sunday, athletes from all over the globe, assemble in the Big Apple, as we get to witness one of the worlds most spectacular sporting events, the 41st running of the NYC Marathon!

    Over 3,000,000 spectators from NY's 5 boroughs will line the streets of NY to see if Meb Keflezighi can defend his 2009 championship. Competing against him will be fellow American and Olympian, Dathan Ritzenhein as well as an outstanding mens field consisting of long distance legend Haile Gebrselassie, and two time winner Marilson Gomes dos Santos.

    On the womens side, Mara Yamauchi will seek a New York winning double by adding the NYC Marathon 2010 crown to her NYC Half marathon win this spring. No athlete has won both the NYC Half-Marathon and NYC Marathon in the same year.

    Another womens hopeful is Ludmilla Petrova, 41, who became the first Russian to win the NYC Marathon when she triumphed in 2000. Twice an Olympian, Petrova finished eighth in the marathon at the Athens Games. In her previous NYC Marathon she placed second in both 2008 and 2009.

    Closer to home, Fleet Feets own Larry Glotzbier, Joe's brother will be running his 12th NYC Marathon, and Matt Hanley, will be making his NYC Marathon debut!

    We wish all of you who are running Sunday the best of luck! Have fun, stay safe, and run like the wind! Also, don't forget to tell us how you did, we'd love to hear from you!

    Asics' Gel Kayano 17 & 2160

    The newest versions of Asics' two most popular stability shoes, the Gel Kayano and the 2160 are now available at Fleet Feet, just in time for the NYC Marathon!

    The Gel Kayano 17, ASICS' leading high-performance running shoe is better than ever. The new upper and sockliner provide superior fit. Full-length Guidance Line technology means a more efficient transition through the gait cycle. That ensures the smooth ride that's made Kayano a favorite!

    Millions of runners have enjoyed the consistent fit, stability and comfort of the 2160, ASICS' economically priced high-end performance shoe. They added their Guidance Line technology for a more efficient gait cycle, and reduced the overall shoe weight.

    Stop by Fleet Feet to see if these new Asics high performance shoes are the shoes for you!

    Got Marathon? or Half Marathon?

    It's that time of year for fall marathons. NYC is next Sunday of course, and Philly ahead on November 21!

    We often get questions from you as to what you need for raceday! The link below will take you to a raceday checklist to help you along!

    Good luck runners!

    The Marisa Fund, helping kids with cancer and their families. A part of the "Dream-Discover- Cure" program at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, the Marisa Fund provides funds for research to generate less toxic treatment protocols for children with cancer. It is our goal to cure the patient and kill the cancer. We also provide financial assistance for families when insurance is not enough. Every dollar raised goes to easing treatments, easing financial hardship and finding a cure for pediatric cancer. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS CAUSE!!!!!

    The Fleet Feet water tent will be at the finish line as we have since 2002. We could use some volunteers to lend an extra hand! Please call the store or email Joe at joeg@fleetfeetmahwah.com if you can help out! We'd greatly appreciate it!
