Tens of thousands of marathon runners will be back on the streets of New York City this weekend, marking the return of what's considered to be the world's largest 26.2-mile race.
The 2025 TCS New York City Marathon kicks off Sunday morning at 8 a.m., with an estimated 54,000 people expected to take off from Staten Island and navigate the marathon course through all five of the city's boroughs. (That morning also marks the end of daylight saving time).
The race starts at the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and finishes at Central Park West Drive and 67th Street. Significant street closures, some rolling and some otherwise, will be in effect. See the full list of closures and the course map below.
Last year, a total of 51,400+ people completed the marathon. The New York Road Runners said the average race time came in at 4 hours, 50 minutes and 26 seconds.
