Around 50,000 runners from more than 100 countries will line up on Nov. 3 for this year’s New York City Marathon, and Alpine resident Janna Stubbs will be among them.
With over 117,000 applicants, making the cut for the 26.2-mile race is complicated – and tough. Several drawings in various categories are held by the New York Road Runners, the organization behind the marathon, and Stubbs learned in February that she had finally been selected.
“I know I can do it, and I have a plan now. I don’t know what my time will be, but I’d like to finish in under five hours,” she said.
