I enjoy reading road race, running and sports stats, here are some stats from this year's ING New York City Marathon that came across my desk via the Running USA newswire.  I want to know, am I the only one blown away by the 99.4% completion rate?  Wow!  Add your 2 cents below in the Comments Section.

* Number of starters: 43,741

* Number of finishers: 43,475

(yes, you read those starters and finishers numbers correctly!)
