TCS New York City Marathon 2023

Big by name and big by nature, like the city, The New York City Marathon is larger than life and an exclusive member of the Abbot World Marathon Majors.

From humble beginnings in 1970 with just 127 entrants and 55 finishers running through Central Park, to today, 26.2 miles winding through the towering buildings and bustling streets of all five boroughs.

Professional athletes and fun runners rub shoulders to make up the 53,000 starters at the Verrazzano Bridge in readiness to race through the spectator lined streets of Brooklyn.

Then through Queens and the Bronx to the streets of Manhattan and finally Central Park, where the marathon began.

The New York City Marathon is not only about the runners both national and international, but also about the thousands of volunteers and cheering crowds adding a further million people to the carnival atmosphere making this event truly larger than life.
