The race starts in Staten Island and ends in Central Park.

Exactly 61,529 people started the race, and 61,146 finished — the most ever in any marathon.

Celebrities, including Jennifer Connelly and Casey Neistat, ran among the participants.

Spectators across all five boroughs showed their support with signs and cheers.

Taking place on the day after Halloween, several racers chose to run in costumes.
