NBC Sports and online broadcaster MediaZone will offer next month’s New York City Marathon live through NBC’s Web site.

For $4.99, race fans can tune in to all of the marathon action Sunday, Nov. 4, beginning at 9:30 a.m. (EST), with live-chat capability.

The media companies will also pair up to cover the men’s Olympic Games marathon trials, which take place the day before. That will be free-of-charge for viewers.

NBC will broadcast highlights of the iconic race on-air from 3 p.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.

San Francisco-based MediaZone has offered broadband sports packages for the likes of Wimbledon and the Rugby World Cup in the past.
