The TCS New York City Marathon is among the world’s most iconic and largest marathons, famous for its demanding 42.195 km route that spans all five boroughs of New York City. Starting in Staten Island and finishing in the scenic Central Park, Manhattan, the course offers runners a diverse urban landscape and vibrant crowd support. The 2024 race set a record with 55,646 finishers, and the 2026 event is expected to welcome a similarly vast and varied field, including elite runners, wheelchair athletes, non-binary participants, and thousands of recreational and charity runners.
