If you didn't get a chance to watch the 2006 New York City Marathon in person yesterday, you missed out. There's nothing quite like watching elite runners zip by and throngs of runners from around the world run through the streets of New York. Some of our photos from yesterday are above in the slideshow, but there are many, many more photos out there. Our photos are mostly capture the strange outfits we saw (from a Smurf, to the two rhinos). We also saw a German runner who was puffing away on a cigarette (and seemingly enjoying it) in Greenpoint.
Below are a few of the photosets and slideshows that we've seen so far:
Joe's great set of the wheelchair entrants, John Zwinck's set of handcycles and wheelchairs Joe Schumacher, edstern, EMIN New York, jrinnyc, Newington, tobyleah, djca, icopythat, drsam, ultraclay, gallery from Newsday, costumes in The Times, crowds in The Times, winners in The Times. There's also the 2006 NYC Marathon pool on flickr.
If you have any photos of yesterday's marathon, put them in the comments!

wow. that's really horrible. i just stood on the side of the street like any normal person would. i do admit to running across the route a couple of times though. but that was just to get to the subway and to go home.
Eep. That girl is terrible. I too stayed on the sidewalk. Where we were, they had volunteers who were very vigilant, too.
My shots from LIC.
Have you got a photo of runner number 710 from the UK please he came in at 3hrs 23secs 2,989th place.
THANKS A LOT

It was really an awesome experience watching. The range of runners was incredible. Young, old, people on wheel-chairs, wheeling alongside the runners. Some runners stopped to give their spouses kisses, their child a squeeze, or their dog a pat. Very inspiring.
