Voice of experience:
Fred Lebow, past President of the New York Road Runners Club, directed the New York City Marathon since its inception in 1970. A major influence behind the international running boom, Lebow transformed the New York City Marathon (and scores of other races) from a local race into an event of worldwide prominence. Despite brain cancer, he continued running until his death in 1994.
Gloria Averbuch, a competitive runner who has worked for the New York City Road Runners Club since 1979, has written six books on running and fitness. She lives with her husband and two young daughters -- all athletes -- in Upper Montclair, New Jersey.« less
