Norwich woman completes NYC Marathon
NORWICH – On Sunday, Norwich attorney Diane DiStefano completed 40th annual New York City Marathon alongside 45,000 other runners.
A crowd of more than two million people cheered the athletes as they ran the 26.2-mile marathon through each of the city’s five boroughs.
DiStefano completed the race in 4 hours, 31 minutes and 4 seconds, well under her aim of five hours. “I had the high mark of being able to do it in four and a half hours so this was a great effort for me personally,” she said.
Being one of the largest and perhaps the most famous marathons in the nation, the event annually draws more than 100,000 applicants each year with organizers admitting about a third of those requests. DiStefano applied to participate in the race in January and was accepted through a public lottery in April.
“This was one of those experiences I’d put up there with giving birth and passing the Bar,” said DiStefano.
