My name is Young Joon Kim and i am currently a Credit Analyst at Rabobank. This is my first ever marathon and I am excited to be a part of it in my hometown of New York City. While I do not have any previous marathon experience, I ran a lot of half marathons in the past such as the Fred Lebow, Staten Island and the NYC United Half with New York Road Runners. In addition, I enjoy going on long runs on the weekend by myself or with a couple of my friends. I hope to complete the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon in under 4 hours!
