A few days before marathon Sunday, the NYRR events team moves the statue of race co-founder and former NYRR president Fred Lebow from his usual location near Engineer's Gate in Central Park to just past the ING New York City Marathon finish line. A champion of the marathon in many ways, including extending the race outside of Central Park and into all five boroughs, Lebow would be pleased that, even years after his death, his presence is still acknowledged at the famous finish line.
