Are there any bicycle tour/marathon type events happening near NY?

Question

I'm kind of new in the cycling world but i do ride a lot, especially long distances, and I'm wondering if there are any marathon-type bicycle events (for amateurs obviously). If you could tell me about these type of events especially any ones that you know of close to NYC I would be greatly appreciate it, thanks.
