Sponsored Goodies for Marathon Runners

The ING New York City Marathon is set to take place Nov. 7. Some 45,000 runners will attempt the 26-mile course with an expected 100,000 friends, family and others cheering them on along the course.

Thirty-one sponsors are also participating and one of the first encounters runners will have with sponsors is when they pick up their “goodie bags” at the three-day ING New York City Marathon Health and Fitness Expoat the Jacob Javits Center, held Nov. 4 through Nov. 6.
