Mile 15 is famously the loneliest stretch of the New York City Marathon, where runners trade the rowdy fan-packed streets of the boroughs for the quiet mile-long Queensboro Bridge as fatigue sets in. But there was a massive party right around the corner Sunday. When this year’s event featuring a record-breaking pack of about 60,000 racers turned onto Manhattan’s First Avenue, they were rewarded with the loudest and most fervent cheers of the whole race as fans clogged the sidewalks of the bar and restaurant-filled artery.
