“Thou hast this!”

Few institutions are as closely tied to New York City as the New York Post and the New York City Marathon. So who better than the Post’s famed founder to rally Sunday’s runners across the five boroughs?

Several actors portraying Alexander Hamilton joined the thousands of spectators gathered near the finish line in Central Park, cheering on the marathoners as they completed the course.

The Founding Father impersonators held signs featuring old-fashioned rallying cries, including “MAKE HASTE,” “THOU HAST THIS!,” “LONG DASH —!” and “YE HAST GOT THIS!” Their cheers helped encourage the record-setting field of 60,000 runners competing in the 50th running of the world’s most famous race.

The Hamiltons also took to the streets to launch The Post’s celebration of its 225th anniversary, honoring the people, places and traditions that help make New York City iconic.
