I spent a lot of time talking to Mrs. Space Cadet and her husband. They told me that there wasn't nearly the amount of attention for the night finishers last year. Special thanks should go to both Mrs. Space Cadet and Ali Feller who have been telling about how great the night finish is. And thank you to NYRR for recognizing all of us runners.

I’m so glad you filmed the runners that finished at night. I got chills watching them cross. Everyone has a story and I’m glad you could show us a part of theirs. So inspiring. Thanks Kofuzi! I remember watching your video last year in NY which helped inspire me to run my first marathon this year, Berlin. I’m hooked. Keep crushing it!

OMG. Goosebumps! As regular runners, we always aspire to be one of the fast, strong finishers and go after our PBs. But you highlighting the late finishers was so inspiring and brilliant. Thank you so much.

tbh, it's a pretty terrible NYC recap in terms of results. I didn't get to the finish line, and I had no idea why certain athletes DNF'd of where. but I hope that I have done the race justice in terms of showing what it's like to be here.

Remarkable job to take us through the race featuring the professionals all the way to the back of the pack. NYCM is a huge celebration of life and grit.

thank you for sharing. Really nice to see the non elite runners

Thanks Mike for cheering us all on at the marathon the other day (and thanks again for helping pace at the Fleet Feet shakeout on Friday)! Just watched your marathon footage, and now realize it was your voice I heard offering us encouragement in East Harlem when I was with the 3:05 pace group. You can just make out me and my Front Runners teammate Kester (bib 667) trailing the 3:05 cluster at that spot! Happy to report that in the end I time-qualified for Chicago 2024 after all, finishing my first-ever marathon in a time of 3:03:46. What an amazing experience it was. Thanks again for all that you do to inspire runners of all abilities. Hope we can cross paths again soon in Chicago! - Jason (Brooklyn, bib 3036, Front Runners New York)

What a great video! Especially at the end, the finishers at the very end of the race, that never ever get any airtime. Thank you for staying to cheer them on and video them 🙏

A veritable who’s who in the running community we know from YT! I always appreciate the name labels since I don’t recognize all of them. As usual the editing is terrific, and you captured the full range of experiences without giving too much weight to the pros (who we see over and over elsewhere) over the gamut of everyday runners. The slowest ones arriving in the dark were most moving of all.

On behalf of those of us who could not be there, THANK YOU for sharing this remarkable day!!! Keep up the great work!!! Love all of your videos and everything you bring to the community

I feel like running a marathon in 4-6 hours is great and all but the people that really impress me are the ones that finish it after everyone else has gone home. They never quit, often times they aren’t the most athletically gifted and they have every chance to turn around and they don’t. They never quit. They are the real champs…..

It took me nearly 5 hours and I gave it my all, therefore the amount of respect I have for the people on this course who were giving it their all for hours longer than I did is indescribable. For all participants who left it all out there, I hope you gained even more from it, and accomplished what you wanted.

This "really" captures the essence of it from so many point of view.
