The New York City Marathon has had more than 1 million people cross its finish line…and one Muppet.
Yes, you read that right! In a 1983 episode of Sesame Street, Gordon ran the five boroughs, as did Mr. Snuffleupagus. (Although they finished in second-to-last and last place, respectively.)
In honor of
#Sesame50, we’re celebrating two of our favorite local marathoners—and rest assured, come
#TCSNYCMarathon race day, we’ll be there no matter what time you finish.
