The energy electric as millions of people came out to cheer the tens of
thousands of runners participating in today's T. C. S. New York City Marathon.
We've got team coverage with all the highlights from the big finishers to
the most memorable moments. Let's get it started with Tom neck of in live at
the finish line. Tom show just an amazing day. Perfect conditions for the
runners, the crowd cheering them on in an absolute frenzy. And tonight,
thousands of smiling, happy, exhausted faces headed home at the end of an
adrenaline fueled day winners of the Marathon Mayor's Cup and YPD celebrating
a big win. The Mayor's Cup, an annual grudge match between the F. D. N. Y.
And N. Y. P. D. The cops come out on top this year.
Their top finisher still in the academy. I wanted to come out here and
represent the N. Y. P. D. And be the first finisher. And I'm happy I did
that. Just to support the fire department and run and represent is a
total honor. All the work, not myself, but everybody else that runs puts into
it a banner day for thousands of people for all kinds of reasons. Proud parents
in the stands here to cheer from the other side of the world makes me cry
every time I see someone go past. It's amazing. The wheelchair athletes first
off the course. Rome Lakin just set a new personal record. No place better
than New York. None ever. Never. Not even close. Our team from ABC News
running the 26.2 miles as a relay for the New York Road Runners team for kids.
They put me at the end. I don't know what that means. Robert Roberts. Anyway,
bring up the rear. Happy to do it. We're all a little bit competitive in the
relay, you know, just a little bit trying to see what our times are. But
you can literally say it was for the kids.
All this and the occasional marriage proposal. They finished. She said yes.
I had no idea. I've always wanted this. It's been my dream for New York
Marathon proposal.
Our congratulations to them. What could be next? Maybe a marathon wedding.
We'll have to keep you posted on that. All in all, a fantastic day. Our team
all over and covering every minute of the excitement and
