The 1985 ING New York City Marathon

BIRDS EYE VIEW – The start of the 26.2 mile, ING 1985 New York City Marathon, photographed from the top of the west tower (693 ft), Verrazamo-Narrows Bridge. I recall how the bridge began to shake and bounce in cadence with 18 thousand runners as they crossed into Brooklyn. The first place male  and female winners were, Orlando Pizzolato, 2:11:34 and Grete Waitz 2:28:34.
