The NYC Marathon experience is the two million spectators across the five boroughs who are cheering for the elite pro-athletes to the everyday runner making their effort at their first marathon. The NYC marathon is a citywide participation and experience made possible by not just the runners but also those that support the main event. The local stories are very much apart of the marathon as with the actual runners. These pieces of New York “run together” on the first Sunday of November every year. Alumni has reached out to communities that directly and indirectly participate in the annual NYC marathon to tell their authentic stories on their experiences.

Alumni's own Jaeki Cho has been highlighting eateries and conversations around the food community in NYC for the last few years through Righteous Eats. Jaeki took us to some of his favorite eateries along the NYC Marathon route that inevitably contributes to the NYC marathon culture through food and community. See what it's like for Queens' Sweet Chick and Brooklyn's Whisk & Whiskey on their marathon experiences on episode two of a three part series.
The On Cloudmonster NYC will be available at the four year anniversary celebration event for World's Fair Run Crew at Alumni Flushing on October 27th.
