How The NYC Marathon Made Us Fall In Love With Running Again: Our CITIUS MAG Party Pack
What happens when the CITIUS MAG crew trades the marathon coverage for 26.2 miles together?
Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber and Mac Fleet recap the NYC Marathon CITIUS MAG Party Pack, from chaotic training buildups and Staten Island logistics to Brooklyn’s electric crowds and Matthew Centrowitz’s motivational speeches on the Queensboro Bridge.
We break down the 3:30 goal, the late-race suffering that split the group and the finish-line reunions that made it all worthwhile.
Plus, Mac’s marathon debut, a newfound respect for time on feet and how running with friends helped them fall in love with the sport again.
The only question now: What race is next?
