Running the Race

Peter Ciaccia is overseeing the ING New York City Marathon for the first time this weekend in his new post as vice president of event development and production technical director at New York Road Runners, the organization that puts on the race. An avid long-distance runner, 53-year-old Ciaccia has been with the organization, which owns and produces the marathon, for six years and has run the event—as in jogging, not producing—twice. He also oversees dozens of half marathons and 5k and 10k races up and down the East Coast throughout the year.

The New York City Marathon is the world’s largest, drawing 37,000 runners and two million spectators. How do you prepare for such an enormous crowd?
The marathon is the biggest single-day sporting event for the city, and we work closely with the New York Police Department and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to make the event run smoothly—if we didn’t have all the city agencies working with us, we couldn’t do it. It’s a massive undertaking for New York, as we’re literally closing down the five boroughs to allow this big street party to happen. MORE >>
