Among the 37,000 registrations are two super stars of the international

Ethiopian Gebrselassie already set 20 world records in his stunning career. 
His marathon best is 2:06:20 hours so far. Paul Tergat (Kenya) is the world 
record holder (2:04:55 hours). He set this time at the real,- BERLIN 
MARATHON in 2003. Mizuki Noguchi is the reigning Olympic Marathon Champion

and ING New York City Marathon over a two-year cycle. Marathon races at 
Olympic Games and World Championships will count as well. The best male and 
female runner will split a jackpot of one million US-Dollar at the end. A
