About TCS New York City Marathon
The TCS New York City Marathon is one of the world's most iconic running events, held every November — 50,000+ runners from across the globe race through all five boroughs (Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan), finishing in Central Park.
Beyond the race itself, marathon weekend is a massive celebration. Thousands of spectators line the streets, neighborhoods throw block parties, and finish-line festivities extend late into the night. Whether you're running, supporting a friend, or just soaking in the energy — having a companion makes the day unforgettable.
