Between this and the Chicago marathon, you're really highlighting the healthiest part of running. It was inspiring to see you push yourself to go sub 3:00 earlier this year, but these two races are what make me want to go out and run. Thank you for the reminder that running is, first and foremost, a joy.
This is so fun to watch. I felt like I was there. What a party! The growth of this channel and your constant evolution over the years has been incredible, inspiring, and inclusive. Keep it up!
@@kofuzihi Mike; i am participating in November What about official refreshments? Are they too crowded? Or maybe first 2? Is it possible to rely on them?
This was my hardest and also favorite marathon of all time. The crowds made every runner feel like a million bucks. Just a great day. I can’t believe the nyc marathon is even a thing, much less a thing I got to do twice.
You beautifully captured the joy that New Yorkers bring to this iconic marathon. Loved the spirit you personally bring as well, especially when you helped a struggling runner.
Welcome to my hometown Kofuzi 🎉 and congrats! Great job capturing all those great moments. So much love and electrifying energy throughout the course. Amazing video. 🥺
INCREDIBLE, Ko! You capture the energy of the race so beautifully and make me want to do all of the races you document. Thanks for making running fun! Loved that you pulled Aaron up even through all of your suffering. Congrats!!!!
Probably my favorite video you have every produced - and that's saying something. You really captured the pure joy of running in (IMO) the world's greatest marathon. And I became emotional when you helped the runner up off the curb. Congrats on another great race and keep this (really, really) inspirational content coming.
This video made me smile, then laugh out loud... it was a tough day out there, but the crowds helped so many make it home. Awesome job capturing the overall craziness and enthusiasm of the event. Well done!
Amazing! Inspiring! So good to see you having so much fun! Best spot ever for marathon running! Really loving the vibe of the whole video! Great job! Thank you!
Another amazing run experience🏃🎉, well done on finishing and thanks for sharing, love that running top. Hope that guy that stopped at the med tent was able to finish🤞
Thank you so much for the NYC MARATHON experience. I never got to run it. This allows me the vicarious experience and you did it so well. Kofuzi is a Superman!
This is what is super special about racing....between this one and Chicago, you can sense the magic. No better feeling than racing with friends all around. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I can only dream of having as much fun running a race as you! And to stop running your race and help someone out that's in distress, you're just an incredible human being! Thank you for what you're doing for running and for myself!
Sometimes you need a race that is for fun rather than a specific time goal. My last half marathon was exactly that and I had an absolute blast!!! Way to go Kofuzi for showing us the fun, cheering, camaraderie, and toughness that is the marathon!
Love the video! Brings back the awesome memories of past NYC marathons for me. The energy is unreal! Amazing. Your video and your spirit captured this perfectly!! YO LET’S GOOOO!!
That's what sportsmanship and sport in general is all about ! Having fun, helping others achieving their goals and pure excitement! Love it mate! So good!
Hey kofuzi, absolutely loved your NYC 2022 marathon video. I've watched it About 3 times. I ran NYC this November also - it was my first ever marathon and I absolutely loved the energy of the crowds! Your video was ace and helps me relive the magic of the NYC marathon. I would love to run again some time. All the best from London!
You’re a good human Kofuzi. I was in a similar situation as that gentleman toward the end of the video. I also had someone encourage and cheer me on. It meant a lot to me and I know it meant a lot to him.
Fantastic video showcasing enjoyment running a major marathon. Chasing times is great when you want to do that but having fun on the day, soaking up the atmosphere on course and running for enjoyment is equally satisfying 🙌
The energy of NYC and your energy are contagious, Michael! I love that you stop to help a fellow runner back on his feet . That really embodies the spirit of the marathon 💪. Congrats on the 2nd WMM ⭐️ and best of luck at CIM.
Mike, it was so awesome to see how enthusiastic and animated you were throughout the race. Such a great way to enjoy the experience. NY is so much fun.
I am such a dork to rewatch this but just love this - thanks for being an inspiration... hope I get to meet you at some point - perhaps the cherry blossom. Have a Happy Holidays Kofuzi!
Wow, first this made me smile, then it made me cry. Just like your personality in person and on YT, the celebration of life, sheer joy of running, sense of humor and generous human spirit come blazing through every race recap, meditative and other thought provoking videos you make.
Man, I ran my first half marathon 3 weeks ago and I’ve kinda struggled getting back into consistent running since I am not train8ng for anything specifically. Seeing you have so much fun running is inspiring! Thank you! And any other tips to stay consistent during the “off season” are welcome!
Wow! This is the best NYC marathon snippet yet!!! Great job Kofuzi on running a solid race and making certain you had lots of fun while at it 😅 It was a hot and muggy day, hats off to y’all runners!!!!
Love that you highlighted some of our biggest run clubs here in NYC, we get the gift of cheering (if not running) 50,000+ runners every year doing amazing and inspirational stuff, and having trained through the summer here I can assure folks that the heat was taking prisoners on Sunday, so congrats on finishing with a huge smile and without injury!
Hey Kofuzi, This video inspired me to take part in the NYC marathon and after watching this video 1 year ago around this time of the year I was so excited to try my luck in the lottery draw for NYC 2023. Fast forward to today, I'm rewatching this exact video around the exact time I first watched it and feels surreal to be able to say I just ran the NYC marathon this month (Crazy) Thank you for inspiring me towards my first marathon and world major. It was also pretty cool to meet you at the believe in the run shakeout run after watching your videos for so long!
I love that you're just out there having fun. That's what running is all about for me. every time I here someone say "i hate running" it honestly makes me a little sad to think about what they're missing out on
This shows every reason why racing is amazing! You really captured the atmosphere and joy. Gotta show this to the non-runners in my life so they can get an idea of why I do it. I can't wait for the next one!
Beautiful video and making it look so smooth and super easy! Your joy is evident and quite contagious just watching this. Well done and congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
I hope one day I can be in good enough shape to run the NYC marathon for fun like Kofuzi! 🙌😃💯🎉 I loved every single second of this video!!! You captured the spirit of the people during the New York marathon WOW! I felt like I was there too!! I’m always so grateful that you bring us along with you. Watching this made me dream BIG that one day I can run and experience this. You looked amazing and so full of spirit out there!! So much joy! Inspiring!! ❤❤❤
You’ve trained for months, you’re giving it your all, you’re on your pace…here comes some guy with an go pro dancing and cheering as he goes. 😂

This! Loved it Ko!

My spring marathon will be my get back to distance running race. I will keep this energy in my mind and save the focus for a goal race fall marathon.

what is kofuzi's pb?
@@jasperherr8694 2:58 high
@@kofuzi how many years did that take you, bro
Once you go under 3:00, anything else is just celebration of such an accomplishment.
Crazy to see how much hype and energy you bring for an entire marathon
Wow, bouncing and high-fiving your way to a finish 30 minutes faster than my most recent effort. Love your positivity and energy!
Kofusi, you truly embody the concept of "marathon celebration" wholeheartedly 🤟 you really rocked it ⚡⚡
