Last Chance: View the Long Island Marathon as it Runs Through Wantagh

Spectators can cheer on runners at mile 16.5 of race at Wantagh Parkway's Sunrise Highway exit.

The Long Island Marathon that kicked off at 8 a.m. this morning in Uniondale is making its way through Wantagh and local residents have a chance to see the runners up close. 

Wantagh Parkway by the Sunrise Highway exit is serving as a viewing location for the 26.2 mile race. The spot, which is at the 16.5 mile mark of the race, can be accessed via Sunrise Highway with parking available on side streets. 

The viewing location will feature music of the 50's and 60's by Jukebox Drive. There will also be old style cars at the site for people to view.

$20 million of the $40 million will be spent on adding a pocket track, presumably east ofRead More Massapequa. Currently, trains are reversed east of the Wantagh interlocking, and while the engineer walks through the train, it blocks the track. This addition of a "pocket track" will probably also help Wantagh commuters some times, just as an emergency pull-over space on the LIE helps.

True, true, I'm sure there's a political payoff/payback here somewhere.
