Saliman Binjuda of Thursday Island, Australia, hugs Robert de Castella, founder of the Indigenous Marathon Foundation, at the finish line of the 2016 New York City Marathon in New York, Sunday, Nov. 6, 2016. A dozen young Australian runners from indigenous tribes once targeted for genocide have a different marathon goal: "The finish line is just a start for us." So says de Castella, a onetime top marathoner who trained them for Sunday's New York City Marathon. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
