Wow, great video! I learned a lot I'm not a runner and I don't watch marathons, but absolutely agree that it's a good use of municipal fundsbrbrAlso, I am massively impressed that anyone can even finish a marathon To finish in under 5 hours having never run one before is wild to me Congratulations!

They may 'break even' but you have to look at the salaries - these can be very high Assuming it's a not for profit, some financial information should be available

Nice to see someone enjoying their 4 h 50 min marathon Most runners around that time make it look like hard work

Congrats Macy Someone will have to show you the secret VIP room and handshake for marathoners Don’t tell anyone😊
Comment from : @minhduong1484

Well done! Great video and great run ❤

Fantastic NY goes out of its way to make sure 26 miles of road has no potholes for a ONE day event You may mock this, but this one day event brings in hundreds of millions of dollars into the city in just a few days So, I guess that’s not so bad

So she either just admitted to not paying taxes or she's much younger than I thought

Comment from : @fauxtool952

Imagine running a marathon when your training has never taken you over 18 miles!
Comment from : @MinistryOfMagic_DoM

What an interesting deep dive I wonder, though - how do the charities make their money? Do people just sponsor individual runners on a per-mile (or something) basis, or is it just that the visibility leads to more donations?

respectfully, Macy's body is rockin

Something different but a really good video
Comment from : @rimbaud0000

what a beautiful woman
Comment from : @benton202

how did she get a spot at the marathon? i thought it was next to impossible as a new runner
Comment from : @Wolflung

So basically it is a a big con, a ginormous scam, otherwise the main company would have said what they make etc

TCS sponsoring millions to a marathons, here in India employees are being under paid😂!!
Comment from : @MedhamshMaringanti

hm, rising star watchbrbrcongrats on finishing the marathon!!
Comment from : @justinrill2483

Yooooo I like her but also… There’s a component that I hope she’d agree with, of her being a traditional looking blonde girl next door in the movie you root for, that’s making me question why I like watching her so much 👀 like yall playin on that dynamic on this channel with her a lot 😅brbrLike if this is the justice evaluation for the people channel it professes to be, I feel like calling this marketing component out a bit just to keep things in check , is important 😅

macy looks a bit like femke in her runner outfit 👀

2:25 "You have a chance to win your race" Yes, we know a white person is not going to win but why did he have to make it racial? /s
Comment from : @dsvollmer

13:35 Just look at all those people running the red light Shameful
Comment from : @dsvollmer

Please dont try running marathon in 90 days from sedentary life
Comment from : @mehmetbeydogan2090

So marathons pays top athletes to come in and win the reward, but charge the average joe $300 to compete?
Comment from : @BananaAsReward

You mentioned during the marathon you weren’t tired but your feet hurt You think that was because of the HOKA shoes you were sponsored by? asking for a friend😢
Comment from : @ason2023

Loved the video Macy! But have to dislike for the unexplained clickbait thumbnail :(

A major sponsor of a marathon is a burger company?🤣

this was epic lol
Comment from : @ArmyBarbie

Just wanted to post that this video inspired me to sign up for my first marathon Wanted to do it for a long time but this got me over the edge, end of April here we come

When I told my girlfirend I ran the California Half-Marathon, she was only half impressed
Comment from : @Sharpshooter649

What a great person you are!
Comment from : @MikeHageman

Most people are regular runners (eg, 40km/week) BEFORE they start training for a marathon, which may take three months If you are just starting to run, only consider doing a full marathon after a year of regular running This will greatly reduce your chance of injury, increase your chances of finishing without walking and allow you to enjoy the event But kudos to Macy!
Comment from : @bengt_axle

natives hate this every year, huge inconvenience for those that have to go to work
Comment from : @anonymous00117

It is ran on public streets, print your own lil sticker and just go out and run, they cannot stop you lol
Comment from : @Satire-Gaming

Rest of the year people run from criminals, marathon day they run FOR criminals

We love a humble queen
Comment from : @ashergaines593

How do you know if some one ran a marathon? brIn 2008 they would tell you about it brIn 2024 they make a video in which they tell you about it
Comment from : @tvviewer4500

Here in Brazil, runners complain about having to pay the equivalent of 50 US dollars in the most important race in the country It's ridiculous (for us in this case)
Comment from : @robsonfotofilme

Congrats Macy!!!

Comment from : @susantkumarnand9520

Good job on your first marathon And great report I’ve run NYC nine times and it’s always a little different Running saved my tail in 2021, survived a brain aneurysm and didn’t even pass out Bananas
Comment from : @Headhunter_212

in a world of disinformation and speculation, i feel like this sort of journalism is super important just to help people understand how basic things they take for granted work
Comment from : @Emariess

It is darkly funny that the act of "running in the street" needs to be a profit making enterprise
Comment from : @Name-ot3xw

What is this girls personal channel? Why does she have a boss?! I wish and hope she has her own thing going and doesn't only rely on this morning brew channel for all her work Hope she's smart enough to be herself and not NAMEmorningbrew
Comment from : @minimando99

Thanks for the video The shoes does not matter The mind does And you did it! I have myself done the NY marathon in 309 years back But now my new challenge is to run a marathon when my form and heard is not the same as in 2016
Comment from : @MrJanJunker

Thank you for this great video Enjoyed
Comment from : @EarthPersonPrime

No mention of the downsides of the marathon ? Safeties issues (Boston 2013) ? Health issues (not an healthy sport at all), traffic jam issues and economic losses
Comment from : @jeanmartin963

Congratulations I liked the video

UMM, FACT CHECK AT 9 MINUTES SHE DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE A NICE PERSON, SHE SAID YOU WERE A GOOD PERSON CHECK AND MATE

Is marathon achievement of this civilization or sign of its decadency With so much money involved I'm closer to latter

Time to replace the lav mic you put on your interviewees It’s cracking and popping

Kinda love the typo on the prize list: 5th place is $15,000, 6th is ten bucks with a comma, and 7th is $7,500 Do not end up 6th!
Comment from : @ferchrissakes

So tax-payers fund this marathon, while business owners make money off it?
Comment from : @Deontjie

😂 😂 can't get a room! Can't get a table 😂 😂 the bs coming out of these politicians
Comment from : @EuroGuy85

america will always find a way to make money in the london marathon, it costs £70 if they approve you £120 if they dont approve but you want to join anyway (to reflect the higher medical costs in case you fail and have to be taken to hospital),
Comment from : @Professional_Youtube_Commenter

they should charge for lost revenue
Comment from : @aeromtb2468

I'm proud as an Indian that TCS is sponsoring this
Comment from : @AayushSinhaofficial

Congratulations Running is amazing, and I can't not do it Thanks for revealing the cost/profit structure It is frustrating for average people that fees feel higher each year, although I know it costs a lot for all the services
Comment from : @kerryjlynch1

Super annoying voice

From door dashing to a marathon I might need to switch careers

The irony of a New York tax payer asking if their taxes are being used responsibly😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Comment from : @nickanderson8305

at the end of my first marathon I had zero emotional fortitude left and I just cried as soon as I saw the finish linebrSF marathon, such glory <3

Comment from : @shavono8402

Last I heard (over a decade ago) this marathon is the easiest in the world to complete At the 19 mile mark they send you into the South Bronx, and you're no longer 'running', you're 'fleeing' - combines incentive with adrenaline to push people over the edge

NYC the 🤡 Show City of the 🌎 😅😆😭😂

Comment from : @aresorum

It is totally crazy that a non-profit was unwilling to disclose how much it costs to run their event
Comment from : @MoNsTeRiSkIcKaSs

Hot marathon
Comment from : @haririan2

This is the 3rd video I have watched from this channel with this particular woman presenting and every one of them has terrible audio They keep using the same cheap and nasty lav mics instead of just getting some good quality ones The wireless rode or dji mics are a million times better than this! Even the video about consumer electronics waste was terrible when she was using proper mic in the factory Amateurs!
