Sunday, Nov. 5, marked the 53rd annual New York City Marathon.

Tens of thousands took part in the annual pilgrimage across the five boroughs.

Runners hit the streets for a 26.2 mile trek through the Big Apple.

A marathoner from Ethiopia won the men’s race, crossing the finish line in less than two hours and five minutes.

On the women’s side, a runner from Kenya ran away with the title, finishing the race in just under two hours and 28 minutes.

While he didn’t win the race, one marathoner from Long Island still accomplished his goal.

He raised more than $50,000 for a cause close to his heart.

Pat Kellachan sits down with Currents News to talk more about his cause.
