Dash to the Finish Line

A Dash through Manhattan before Marathon Sunday

With less than 24 hours to go before 50,000 runners set out to traverse New York City’s five boroughs, 10,000 got in on the TCS New York City Marathon action a day early at the Abbott Dash to the Finish Line 5K.

Participants enjoyed a stunning course on traffic-free streets, starting at the United Nations, traveling past iconic Midtown landmarks like Grand Central Station and Radio City Music Hall, and wrapping up their 3.1 miles with a climb to the famed TCS New York City Marathon finish line in Central Park.

First across that finish line was defending champion and two-time Olympian Donn Cabral in 14:18. He was quickly followed by fellow Americans Scott Fauble in 14:21 and Kyle Merber in 14:30.

On the women’s side, Norway’s Karoline Bjerkeli Grovdal, also a two-time Olympian, took the tape in 15:40, followed by Alexi Pappas in 15:54 and Stephanie Bruce (USA) in 16:06.

While some participants in today’s 5K will also take on 26.2 miles Sunday; others appreciate the opportunity to be part of Marathon Week festivities while running a more manageable distance.

“The course was just the coolest thing ever,” said Roselyn Jin, a 23-year-old from New York who, along with two friends, all completed their final 9+1 race this morning and will run the TCS New York City Marathon together in 2017. “We’re used to running in Central Park or in other boroughs, so running down 42nd street was pretty great.”

Her friend, 26-year-old Sumit Gupta, also from New York, got a special surprise at the finish: “When I was right about to cross the line, they called my name out and wished me a happy birthday!”

David Grudzien, a 53-year-old from Atlanta, used the Dash as a shakeout run—as well as an opportunity to acclimate to NYC’s fall temperatures. “This is perfect. This is my running weather,” said Grudzien, who will take on his first New York City Marathon Sunday.

Just like the marathon, the Dash draws a large international field, many runners donning their country’s colors and racing with flags painted on their faces.

Ruth Situma, originally from Kenya and now an employee at the United Nations, ran with her husband and two sons and said she is happy to participate in an event that supports the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals --namely, health and well-being for all. “It was nice, we enjoyed,” said Situma. “It was very short for us! We’re from Kenya, we run a lot.”

“But I’m the fastest! I won!” Situma’s youngest son chimed in.

In addition to the UN, Tata Consultancy Services, title sponsor of the TCS New York City Marathon, also had a big representation in today’s race, with some 200 runners taking part in the 5K. Those who crossed the finish line at the Dash this morning are looking forward to cheering on their Team TCS colleagues racing the marathon tomorrow.

Marathon Course

The Silver Falls Marathon is challenging, but quite possibly the most amazing and beautiful course on the west coast! Features significant elevation gain with mud, rocks, a creek crossing and lots of hills! Course begins in the south falls day use area and features a total of 6 aid stations. The marathon follows the same scenic course as the half and at the 2 nd aid station (mile 6) splits off and begins it’s own 13+ mile journey in the back country trails of Silver Falls State Park. Huge fir trees, several bridge crossings, lung busting hills, a creek water crossing (mile 9), amazing single track trails and wildlife greet runners in this remote area!

After joining back with the half course at aid station #5 (mile 19.1) the marathon now enjoys the stunning and scenic canyon trail with several spectacular waterfalls along the way back to the finish at south falls day use area. Course will be well marked and will have mile markers at all aid stations. Sorry, no pets or walkers allowed on courses.


N Kolay Istanbul Marathon

Sunday November 2nd, 2025
Istanbul, Turkey
Distance: Marathon · 15K · 10K · Fun Run
Offical Race Web Site

At the beginning, the main intention was simply to organise a marathon event. Being a unique city in terms of history and geography, Istanbul deserved a unique marathon. Despite the financial and logistical problems, an initial project was set up for the Eurasia Marathon.

In 1978, the officials were informed that a group of German tourists would visit Istanbul the next year, who run marathons in the countries they visited, the Nile Marathon in Egypt being the most recent race they participated. It was then decided to realise the Eurasia Marathon project.

Having solved the problems with the course and the traffic, the organisers invited the elite Turkish athletes to the event as well. Finally, all preparations were completed and the marathoners whom 34 of them were from the 74-person tourist group gathered at the starting point, 700 meters behind the Bosphorous Bridge on that historical day.

Thus, the Bosphorous Bridge witnessed a marathon for the first time in its history, which the runners crossed from Asia to Europe. That was the beginning of an important event. The first Eurasia Marathon was won by Hasan Saylan, a Turkish athlete from the city of Zonguldak, in a time of 2:35:39.

Being organized for 30 years, one of the most important features of the Eurasia Marathon is that it aims friendship and peace since day one. The race course changed three times over the years, therefore winning times vary in those periods. Well known athletes such as Ian Thompson and Terry Mitchell participated in the Eurasia Marathon, which also became a testing ground for Turkish athletes, many of whom went on to run at international races.

Rio Del Lago 100 Mile Endurance Run

The race will start at Beal's Point in the beautiful Sierra Foothills of California, about 40 minutes east of Sacramento.

Rio Del Lago 100 begins at beautiful Beal’s Point, at Folsom Lake State Recreation Area in the Sierra-Nevada Foothills. With Folsom Lake as the sparkling backdrop you’ll traverse through Oak woodland and meadows, over bridges and creeks, up and down switchbacks and along the most spectacular trails in the area. This scenic 100 mile foot race combines 2 of the Best trail races in Northern California: American River 50 and Way Too Cool 50K.

The 100 mile course is a variety of terrains that novice and veteran runners alike will enjoy. Runners will begin their 100 mile journey running the perimeter of Beal’s Point to the American River Parkway. Out of Beal’s Point, the course then heads South on the American River Parkway to the historic Walker Bridge. The course will wind down under the Powerhouse and behind the Lake Natoma Inn hotel. The course remains on the south side of Lake Natoma on the American River Parkway through Willow Creek and then to the Aquatic Center. At the Aquatic Center, the course traverses across the bridge up to the Nimbus Bluffs.

Runners will ascend on a single track trail to the Hazel Bluffs. Upon descending from the Hazel Bluffs, the course will re-connect with the bike trail and intermix with fire roads and single track trails through Beal’s Point. After reaching Beal's Point, runners will enjoy single track trails and head north on the path worn by gold miners in search of riches: The Pioneer Express Trail, near the entrance of the Granite Bay State Park. Runners will continue to Granite Beach on the north side of Folsom Lake.

Runners leave Granite Beach and continue north towards Twin Rocks and Auburn, CA. Runners will pass through Horseshoe Bar and Rattlesnake Bar (no, we aren’t talking about stopping at local pubs, but rather passing over the sand bars that miners would pan gold from, but there ARE Aid Stations at each). The route continues to Power Plant, Avery's Pond, Dowdin's Post, and arrives at the base of Cardiac Hill. Runners will take a deep breath and then ascend up Last Gasp to the Auburn Dam Overlook. Exiting the Overlook, runners descend on the Western States Trail to the notable 104 year old No Hands Bridge.

From No Hands Bridge, runners will cross Highway 49 at Lower Quarry. The Rio course now joins forces with the iconic Way Too Cool 50K course. You will run along the scenic Quarry Road until continuing through Main Bar. You will make your way to Auburn Lake Trails, Goat Hill and descend down to the Upper Highway 49 crossing. From Upper Highway 49, you will follow the WS trail back to the meadow which will then bring you down the luge as you return to No Hands Bridge.

From No Hands Bridge, runners will re-trace their footsteps back to the Auburn Overlook (running DOWN Last Gasp, take that!) From there, runners follow the trails back through Cardiac, Rattlesnake Bar, Horseshoe Bar, Twin Rocks to Beal’s Point to cross the finish line and celebrate!
