The New York City Marathon is back. With last year’s running was cancelled due to the pandemic, the long-awaited 50th running of the NYC Marathon promises to be a truly special iteration of the largest marathon in the world.
The 50th running of the TCS New York City Marathon is set for November 7, 2021. The TCS New York City Marathon is the largest marathon in the world and the signature event of New York Road Runners (NYRR), the world’s premier community running organization.
The marathon is held annually on the first Sunday in November. It will include 33,000 runners, from the world’s top professional athletes to runners of all ages and abilities, including charity runners. Participants tour the diverse neighborhoods of New York City’s five boroughs—Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan. The start village will be located on Staten Island. The course exits Staten Island via the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and takes runners through Brooklyn and then into Queens before entering Manhattan. After a trip up into the Bronx, runners head back down into Manhattan and enter Central Park. After 26.2 miles, runners finish their journey in Central Park crossing the finish line and collecting their medal.
Join the extravaganza in person to witness these runners and be a part of this time honored New York tradition or tune in online or watch broadcasts on television.
