The Big Apple is the place to be and the New York Marathon is one of the best!
Not only will you be experiencing culture, shopping and restaurants like nowhere else on earth but you will also be joining a very special team of Power Walkers to complete the ING New York City Marathon.
This delicious city is the place it all started for Walk the Walk and it is still a favourite so we can promise a weekend that you won’t forget!

Who should do this challenge?
It is ideal for anybody that has taken on London or Edinburgh and now wants the next MoonWalk challenge, or for anyone committed to training.
You will need to be 13 years old on the day of the challenge (anybody under 18 will need a guardian that is also taking part) and should aim for a maximum sustained walking pace of 14 minute miles and complete a marathon in under 7hrs. It's open to both guys and girls, runners and walkers.

Myself and Anna would like to say a very big thankyou for such an amazing weekend in New York. Both you and Guy looked after us very well and made our weekend so much fun. The friendship run on the Saturday was crazy and great fun it is something we would recommend to anyone who is going to do this Marathon as it certainly gets you into high spirits and the fun factor is great. It was really nice to meet all people and hear why people are doing this marathon. The team were all great and it was so nice to make new friends. The marathon was and absolute amazing experience Guy looked after us well and made sure we were all warm keeping us doing the hokey kooky which I must say was crazy but great fun. The Americans are fantastic supporters of this event and made us feel like celebrates, we must say a points in the marathon our face hurt more than our legs through laughing and smiling so much. This weekend will be a memory for a long time.Thanks for all your organising and making it such a fab weekend!
