00:01Imagine running the New York City Marathon and suddenly spotting the mare handing out water.
00:06That's exactly what happened when Zoran Mamdani showed up at mile 13 in Long Island City, Queens,
00:12joining volunteers to hydrate runners and give out high fives.
00:16Some runners were so surprised they even stopped to take pictures with him,
00:20sacrificing a few precious seconds of their race time.
00:23And Mamdani knows the course firsthand.
00:26He previously completed the New York City Marathon in both 2022 and 2024.
