In November Peter Weiss from Austria will take part in the biggest marathon in the world – The New York Marathon. He will run over 42 kilometres through the streets of the famous city.

The first New York Marathon was in 1970 and the race is always on the first day in November. This year 90,000 people from all over the world want to take part in it and only 37,000 will really take part. So Peter is very lucky that he got a place.

The runners start on Staten Island (one of the five districts of New York) and finish in Central Park. Peter thinks that he will run this distance for 4-5 hours. The fastest men can do it in 2 hours ten minutes and the fastest women take about 2.5 hours. But they are the best runners in the world!

Not everybody finishes the race. Peter was in the Berlin Marathon 3 years ago, but he didn’t finish. In the New York Marathon he hopes to do better.

Why does he want to do it? Peter says: “Because then I can say “I did it! I ran the New York Marathon!”
