The TCS New York City Marathon starts on Staten Island, crossing the famous bridges and travelling through the five culturally diverse boroughs of New York City before finishing 42.2km later in Central Park. We will be operating our own private bus to the start again this year – the bus will leave from the front of the hotel so there is no need to trek down to 42nd Street or the Staten Island Ferry in the dark like the majority! The race has 4 staggered starts between 09h40 and 10h55 - you have 8 hours to soak up the motivating and enthusiastic support from +/- 2 million spectators and finish the race. A timing chip is loaned to you for time keeping. Regular refreshment stations are every +/- 2kms starting +/- 5km into the race. Expect a fantastic marathon, exceptionally well planned and large expo, pre and post celebrations. Combine all this with this bustling city that never sleeps and you have a trip to remember for a very long time!

 

Time Limit: The official end time of the race is 10:00pm ET.

Sweep buses will follow the marathon route at 16 minutes per mile, after the final wave start. The Sweep buses will transport any entrant who wishes to drop out to the post-finish area.  After the sweep buses pass, the city streets will reopen to traffic.

Cross-street protection, medical assistance, aid stations, and other services will no longer be available. Runners on the course should move onto the sidewalks.  A team of NYRR staff and Volunteers will support these participants on the sidewalks as they make their way to the Finish Line through the official race end time.
