When Does This Marathon Madness End?
So, you're wondering when the NYC Marathon actually ends. Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive into a world of marathon madness.
The Official Finish Line
Let’s get the boring stuff out of the way first. Officially, the NYC Marathon ends at 8:00 PM sharp. That's right, folks. No latecomers allowed. If you're still chugging along after that, you might want to consider taking up knitting or something.
But let's be real, the marathon isn't just about crossing the finish line. It's about the journey, the camaraderie, the post-race pizza (or whatever your poison is).
The Real Finish Line: When You Stop Talking About It
Honestly, the marathon really ends when people stop talking about it. It's like those annoying relatives who won't shut up about their vacation. We get it, you ran 26.2 miles, but can we please move on?
Of course, I'm just kidding (kind of). The marathon is a huge accomplishment, and people should be proud of themselves. But let's not let it overshadow other important things, like the fact that there’s still avocado toast to be eaten.
The Never-Ending Marathon of Training
For some people, the marathon never really ends. They're always training for the next one, or dreaming about conquering a different race. These folks are the marathon addicts, and there's no cure.
If you're one of these people, please seek professional help. Or at least buy some decent running shoes.
