2024 NYC Marathon: Race route and start times
The NYC Marathon returns to the streets of The Big Apple today. Thousands are set to put themselves to the test over 26.219 miles (42.195 km) with the city’s iconic landmarks providing the backdrop for the hopeful participants.
As is customary, the race is held on the first Sunday of November every year... which is today!
When does the NYC Marathon start?
The race gets underway in various stages, or ‘waves’, in order to stagger the runners and make sure things run smoothly on the streets.
Here’s a list of the various categories and their start times:

What is the 2024 NYC Marathon route?
The race itself, as you can see on the above video, passes through the five boroughs of New York City: Starting in Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island, the route crosses the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn before turning up to Queens.
The route then crosses over into Manhattan and the Bronx before turning back down to finish at West 67th Street in Central Park.
While the New York Marathon comes with a lot of History behind it, it’s actually its neighbour race, the Boston Marathon, which is the oldest in the world. However, that‘s not to take anything away from today’s event, which has a huge level of prestige in the world of athletics and is set to be another stunning show of sport.
