This 2002 release by the New York City Marathon Tribute Committee runs for 23:30 and is a summary of the November 3, 2001 ceremony honoring NY City marathon founder Fred Lebow. There are outtakes where Lebow ran his first marathon with Grete Waitz as he confronts the diagnosis of brain cancer in 1992. Although Fred died in 1994, this statue that stands in Central Park is a way to remember this founder of one of the greatest marathons in the world. Both Grete Waitz and Bill Rodgers give brief comments during this ceremony as well as many other people whom Lebow was associated, Runner’s World publisher George Hirsch, Daniel Mitrovich, and Allan Steinfeld to name a few. Another film that chronicals his life is the 2008 feature film Run For Your Life.
