Notes: 1970 was the inaugural year. The course used for the 1981 race was remeasured at 42.044 km or 151 meters short of the full marathon distance. Since a major part of the shortness was within the Central Park portion of the course, all "five borough" races prior to 1981 must also be considered suspect (1976-1980) and are not considered acceptable for statistical purposes. The races from 1970 thru 1975 were run on a four lap course entirely within Central Park and are generally felt to be acceptable for statistical purposes.
